Toot

I've studied and practiced #contemplative traditions rather intensively for a long time.

And it seems to me the heart of those traditions and their practice is something both elusive and simple:

the utter wonder that anything at all is happening.

And a best way to realize and honor and appreciate that, is, as #Zen teacher Mazu put it, to just "not contrive."

It's always already this — before we have a plan, or a theology, or even any thought-up ideas.
