HERE I AM; (If You Look, You Will Find Me)

How often we wonder where we are, or where someone else may be? There's a sense of being lost in the world, and also a sense that the people we care for are missing. Even when they're right beside us, they can be missing. But the great koan of Zen is, I'm Here!  Not only am I right here before you, so is the entire world. It is only us, we separate ourselves from what is right before us. We look away from what is happening, wanting or expecting something else. But when we are willing to receive and be one with whatever comes our way, all our koans are answered. And all our suffering melts away.
