One to contemplate:

  1. Out for a while in meditation. Then noisy mind for a while. Then breath, large in view, everything else quiet, and quiet.

    Then noticing something like a playful fountain
    but without place of origin or direction
    my visual field arose from it
    my thoughts arose from it
    I saw/knew this is the heart space
    Just because it was emotionally fully present
    but it was neither high above head nor low below neck

    true seeing,
    of the fountain of experience coming out with a sense of play in everything.

    I worried, will I lose this? Probably.
    But it is at the root, for sure.
    The insight of the least effort,
    from or toward the "place" at the center of every actual place.

    Wow. Later I wondered, how can it be described, or taught, and saw many have tried.

    It has the feeling of fascinating revelation.
    Reality is amazingly emitting from this,
    seeable if attention is within, at the
    most profound, the earliest part of any experience.
    To see it is to see where the thoughts arise from.
