My partner is tired and wants to return home. I feel torn. I want to stay with the snakes and the scorpions, with the kangaroo rats and the prickly pear. I want to please my partner. I recognize my wants.
Awareness comes in the oddest places.
The snake is the Buddha. The geicos are the Buddha. The desert sun is the Buddha. The sounds of danger are the Buddha. Zen is the moment of perception.
