Fushin James Bristol: The Poetry of Awareness on an Ordinary Day

In The Poetry of Awareness on an Ordinary Day,  Fushin James Bristol explores the profound practice of awareness in our day to day life–“…doing what I’m supposed to be doing now.” Awareness arises from the tangled thoughts during Zazen and moves into our life and activities in the world, where what happens each day–from the stark moments to the ordinary moments–has an impact and informs us, particularly if we are Aware. Deepening our awareness calls us to show up–to show up to what is right in front of you now, bringing everything in yourself, excluding nothing, fully aware, fully awake on this path of your life, knowing you are connected to all things of the universe.
