Savoring What Is
Saborear Lo Que Es
An invitation to stop resisting your present experience and instead taste each sensation, thought, and feeling with tender, curious attention.
Savoring What Is
And you accept the seasons,
the cycles, the movements,
the weather.
Thoughts and emotions are no different.
Reactions, striving, seeking, struggling.
Surely there are preferences.
I prefer sun and not rain.
I prefer rain and not sun.
That ache to go away.
The subtle choice
There is a subtle choice
not to be okay if it's raining,
not to be okay if there is a headache.
There is a constant looking
and finding for something here, now, that is not okay,
that must be different to be okay.
What needs to be dropped,
what needs to be seen,
what needs to be accepted
for this moment to be the best moment?
For this moment to be permeated,
sublime,
sacred.
Looking toward thought
What is in the way? Look toward your thoughts and the ones you believe.
The form of doing,
resisting.
And let go.
The sign of a letting go is the savoring of what is,
the tasting rather than resisting.
Savoring
The taste of boredom and savoring discomfort.
Savoring as a quality of lovingness.
There is always something to savor:
the skin,
the breath,
the sounds,
the marvel of thought.
The mystery of this, savor it so deeply.
You can't savor it all.
Start somewhere.
Release resistance.
The tastiest thing right now.
It can all be very simple,
ordinary yet extraordinary.
Tingling of sensations.
The sweetness in sleepiness.
The complexity of discomfort.
It is all truly sacred,
divine creation.
Isn't just the skin enough?
Savor so deeply.
Turning toward pain
The bitterness of heartache or loneliness or suffering.
Hold onto your struggles and your pain
like a loving mother to a struggling child,
listening deeply.
Deep savoring.
The experience of this.
Discover the delight in tasting what is.
The savoring itself
It is the savoring itself.
The taste of you everywhere is stirring, alive.
How are you?
How did you feel this feeling?
Savoring is the heart.
And it's all sacred.
