When you try to ‘wake’ to ‘Now,’ it’s like watching a Southbound mule. All you see is the Northbound end of it as it fades away into the distance.
I’m really enjoying reading your thoughts.

Perhaps this one may need a bit more clearification–perhaps not. Nevertheless, if one’s ‘now’ does appear to be walking off, let it go. It’s no longer now. Trying too hard. Right effort is no effort. Of course, I’m just a mad man making many monsterous mistakes moving my mouth.
Peace, gassho.
“Right effort is no effort”, you said. This, I believe, is both the key and the most difficult thing for us to understand. In this lies the whole ‘answer’ we’re seeking.
Sweetwater,
