The Open Field of Not-Knowing

Sit comfortably and let your eyes soften — not closed, not fixed, just resting. Take one slow breath and feel the weight of your body in the chair, on the floor. Notice what is already here: the quality of the light, a sound near or far, the temperature on your skin. Now let your attention become wide, like a field that holds everything without grabbing at any of it. When a thought arrives, let it pass the way a cloud moves through sky — you don't need to follow it or push it away. You don't need to know what comes next. Just this. The roots beneath you hold steady even when the surface is uncertain.

Your feet on the ground are always an answer.
