\u2018Beginner\u2019s mind\u2019 \u2026 Beginner in what?<\/p>\n
I would say, without thinking: beginner in love. With a special clarification: there where love is new , where it \u2013 you might say if you know what I mean with this \u2013 is ‘romantic love’, being in love forever with everything, with everyone.<\/p>\n
Beginner\u2019s mind is falling in love always anew, always now. No past or future is standing between this love and now.<\/p>\n
You just thought of tomorrow? Soon you think of yesterday? In between is \u2018now\u2019. Nothing is standing between now and now. Even time itself is not standing between now and now. Nothing is.<\/p>\n
This is you. This is he. This is she.<\/p>\n
No loneliness.<\/p>\n
Eyes are dancing. Knowing better. Never. Time. Whispering. Rhythm. It\u2019s always good.<\/p>\n
No loneliness.<\/p>\n
It \u201ccould have been so good\u201d. Yet we will never see<\/p>\n
each other again.<\/p>\n
And I can hardly hide it. Warm and cold. No one is to blame.<\/p>\n
Regret that is no regret.<\/p>\n
Attachment that is no attachment.<\/p>\n
Ignorance that is no ignorance.<\/p>\n
No loneliness.<\/p>\n
Beginner\u2019s mind is forever in love with everything.<\/p>\n
No security! No playing hide and seek!<\/p>\n
No \u201clook at me\u201d and certainly no \u201clook at what I\u2019m doing\u201d. Beginner\u2019s mind is \u2018merely-ego\u2019-less. There is no I that is looking, or that sees others looking. There is only an I that is doing this\u2026 and at the same time<\/u><\/em> also not.<\/p>\n No measuring, nor comparison.<\/p>\n Everything repeats itself, but there is no radical change of direction. How small the progress in this direction may be, if there is progress, you\u2019ll never lose it.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s a good thing.<\/p>\n Once a beginner\u2019s mind, always a beginner\u2019s mind.<\/p>\n Beyond<\/em> ego.<\/p>\n Ha!<\/p>\n Ego doesn\u2019t understand it.<\/p>\n A soul that is being given, doesn\u2019t lose itself.<\/p>\n A soul that is being taken, doesn\u2019t lose itself.<\/p>\n No loneliness<\/p>\n not even at the end of time.<\/a><\/p>\n
