“Wherever you are is the entrance point.” ~ Kabir

I woke up this morning in a stupor, barely knowing where I was. The reason: I took a tiny tablet prescribed by my doctor to help me with tremor. The last time I took it was over a year ago and then it just upset my stomach, so I quit taking it. But the tremor is really starting to get in the way, so I am trying this again.

After breakfast I went back to bed and lay there for a few more hours and I just got up and got dressed. Still groggy, but less so.

“Wherever you are is the entrance point.” ~ Kabir

I found the quote above on Elsa Bailey’s Facebook Page and immediately wanted to build an essay around it. Why? Because we think only certain moments are worth writing or talking about. And that is the trick to my writing; I don’t believe the hype surrounding awakening.

I can do only one thing well and that is write. And I write about awakening because no one is awake.

So my entrance point is knowing that I am asleep. And this morning, that applied literally. My brain was slowed down by this tiny little pill and I have to wait for it to wear off.

So I watched a very funny interview with Dustin Hoffman on 60 Minutes, Australia. It is worth watching.

We live in very dangerous times. For some the entrance point is seeing their town destroyed by the Russians. For others it may be a very embarrassing zit! Nevertheless, wherever we are is the entrance point.

Look for the door and walk through. Don’t waste any time because it will shut soon. Other doors open and close all day long, just like our eyelids.

One fine day we will all walk through it for the last time.

Hurry up; go, zits and all!
