Facing Up

There are moments and places in time where we have to so-called "Face-up," to situations. We need to see past the bullshit and fix, repair, eliminate, change, work through a situation from that place within ourselves that is very, very, very clear. While I know that taking responsibility is no fun, it does feed the fire of integrity.

I have often said, the best translation I've heard for the word Zen is "Unification." And Zazen is to "Sit in Unification." If I'm not driving to unify myself and my life, then what am I doing? What are you doing? This moment is our time. This moment is our now and there is no sense in putting it off. This life-time is an amazing opportunity, to be authentic, to be real - stepping outside of our dreams and delusions. It's so valuable. I just hope that we do not waste or miss THIS opportunity to use it. Gyo (Practice)!

It's time to "face-up." As Bussui says, "If not in this life time, then when will you?" No other lifetime exists other than now.
