When the Line Disappears

Choose any focused activity you are about to do, looking at a flower, listening to a piece of music you love, watching your child sleep. Begin the activity with full attention. Soon, a moment will arrive when the usual sense of 'me here, doing this thing' softens, and there is only the activity itself, fully alive, with no manager in the middle. Stay with that moment without making a story about it. The line you usually draw between yourself and what you attend to has not been erased. It has simply been allowed, briefly, not to be.
