““What day is it?” asked Pooh.
“It’s today,” squeaked Piglet.
“My favorite day,” said Pooh.”
As Pooh remembers, that today is his favorite day, we can remember that being with what is "right now" can be our favorite realization too. It is only in the ever-present now where we know the true being-ness of life as arises and disappears. It is only now where we can see and investigate how the conditioned nature of our mind distorts and obscures what is real. And, it is only now that we can see that the lens of our conditioned mind allows us only to see what we already believe and expect to see.
The clarifying gift of mindfulness practice is that it allows us to be curious about all of the unknown possibilities of reality that lie beyond our conditioned view. We can practice and open to knowing ourselves as the awareness of possibility where we can find insight and wisdom and freedom.
