the body, part 2: no borders

Thinking about how it feels to not know anything with any certainty. To feel adrift.

Witnessing the  experience of suffering, how it will be for those we love, for the world.

There's a little book written by Alan Watts:  The Wisdom of Insecurity.

Another book by Pema Chödrön, is called:  Comfortable with Uncertainty.

With those titles alone, you are half way there.  

You can maybe begin to get wise and comfortable with it.

On page 49, Watts asks: " Where do I begin and end in space?  It is convention alone which persuades me that I am simply this body bounded by a skin in space, and by birth and death in time."

Sometimes when I am walking or even just sitting quietly in nature - I like to imagine that I have no outline, no boundaries. After a bit, it really becomes a clear sensation -  the body with no borders.
The thought comes along then, the feeling of  'all one'.  And just for a moment the insecurity and uncertainty are not problems.
