Heart ‘Doing’ and ‘Non-Doing’
Published on 28/11/09

From where does my action or seeming inaction come from? If I perceive threat from another desiring me to conform to their desire, what’s the shape of my resistance or allowance? How can I cause the least harm to them as me or me as them? In all instance, when my wisdom to act arises from the heart there’s a strong chance for positive result. Contrarily, when I react from fear, or when my non-doing is fear based, the result is more likely to have an unpleasant result.
Are there any guarantees? Absolutely not. Yet, when we commit to the process of love and awakened ‘doing’ outside the realm of duality, we find that compassion and deeper listening are keys to diffusing potential threat. This dedication to our interdependence upon one another sponsors our courage to show up, pay attention in awakened doing, responsibly do our best, and most importantly, to be easy on ourselves when things don’t turn out as we expected.
This is learning to live a life of love without grasping. It’s knowing the elements support us…the ground, air, water, and fire. It’s knowing there’s someone else inside of us that carries the wisdom of loving action, in harmony and rhythm to the flow of life. The residence for this wisdom is in the heart, not the head or stomach. Some have called this nonviolent mindfulness. It’s a space of compassion, where when I look in your eyes I experience me. It’s a space of forgiveness, where I’m open to the completeness of the arising moment, no matter what comes up. It’s a space of gratitude, where I’m forever aware that this form I carry is gift and all moments are surprise and gifts arising.
Trust no one, since it places expectation on another and leads to inevitable disappointment. Love everyone. Trust your heart’s knowing as you trust the universe.
That's it. What Next?
