Like nectar settling to the bottom of a glass of juice, Ticknon-Han says. juice Dick Nunhan says Thank you. And there can be some measure of tranquility when we're not trying to keep all the balls up in the air.

We're not trying to suppress as if keeping 50 ping pong balls submerged underwater. You let what's in the air come to the surface.

What's subterranean come to the surface. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. How radically might we relinquish the attempt to control experience? And maybe we say, maybe we think the mind calls out, no, no, no, no, I have to control my attention.

I have to do the letting go.

I have to make progress.

We have to come to trust that you're already enough doing nothing whatsoever. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Maybe we follow wherever the thread of interest takes us.

What is this?

What is this moment, this life, this suffering? When there's curiosity, investigation, Dama, Richiea, doesn't matter where the attention
