Experience directly

Explore the place where you are. Find inspiration and enjoyment in its treasures.

Connect in person with people who are nearby. Get to know each, not as part of this or that group, but as a distinctive individual.

Rise above the lowest common denominator of what’s acclaimed by billions as trendy. Invest your awareness in the fascinating reality that’s right in front of you.

Live what you can touch, gaze upon actual objects, not secondhand images. Experience directly the miraculous nature of ordinary existence.

Walk out in the sunshine and feel your skin being warmed by a source that requires no intermediary. Dive into a pool of water and know not merely the idea of refreshment, but its all-encompassing embodiment.

Shorten or erase completely your distance from what is real, what is true. Life’s richness is the most intense and satisfying when you connect with it directly.
