You Are the Sky
You are the awareness that watches it all unfold. The silent witness. The space in which all experience appears and disappears.
The dust settled around the Buddha's feet as his questioner approached. The man had traveled far, drawn by stories of this awakened one who sat beneath the fig tree.

The Buddha smiled. "Awake."
