Ease...

   It can feel as thou thoughts race through the mind like a thorough bread race hoarse with no finish line in sight. It is the attention that we give to thought(s) that brings in a weight, a heaviness, a relentless feeling or a needing to rest, escape or whatever we think that will help us get away from it all. It is ironic that we feel the need to get away from the very thing we give all our attention to...thought.

   We are so conditioned to; doing, performance, earning, attaining, etc. along with the measuring of ourself with what we have achieved, accomplished, so on and so forth...that we run continual cycles over and over again... a bit like an environment statement of "renew, reuse, recycle" and we are still dis-eased most of the time. Keeping the separate I identity ensures effort! You can count on it! Drop your attention with thoughts and you drop effort... what remains is ease with being present, watching, observing. Your mind will be sure to kick something up for you to lean on, work out or you mustn't forget scenario...switch off the attention to thought and return to effortlessness, ease with what is.
