Try as we might (though far too few even try), we can find nothing other
than consciousness. If you think you can, then consider what is it that
assumes it is something recognizing something outside of consciousness.
That again is consciousness alone. Why the need to break things up? That
which appears to be perceiving and that which appears to be perceived have
no distinction. Stop for a moment and try to find the distinction. There is
only one thing happening. That is consciousness. Rest in that alone and be
happy!

Today, they estimate about two hours. It's the middle of the day, we have the woodstove going. Basically, no big deal. But one person here as already headed for the city to their more comfortable place. I'm typing this on my computer; of course, I won't be able to post it until power is back on and I can again connect to the internet. But each time we have a power outage, I am reminded that there are many things that can be finished - Just Like That! Life for one. Civilization for another. In our situation, we are relatively okay in a power outage. We have a propane sto
