I watched the pre-dawn sky
an illuminated white
punctuated by dark gray clouds
rising from below
and passing by from above.
Movement
creating the unknown,
perpetuating change
and impermanence.
Energy
ever-changing forms.
That is what I am
and ever will be
and ever have been—
as much as there is
an “I” to me.

How lovely!
Appamada is not just the occasional mindful thought or attentive state of mind, it’s actually a commitment to being attentive. It’s more than just a meditative state of mind, it’s more than just being mindful. It has to do with that primary ethical or moral orientation we have in life, with which we bring into being whatever activity we’re engaged in. Whether in formal meditation, in our interactions with other people, in our social concerns, or in our political choices, it’s the energetic cherishing of what we regard as good.
