Our room in this New York City hotel towers over the St Francis of Assisi Roman Catholic Church which was built 130 years ago in 1892. Once the prominent building on this area of 31st Street, the city grew up and over it. From such a high loft it is easy to lose perspective. The lesson here is that we are only temporary guests in this room and the buildings we see are only temporary structures in this world. Everyone and everything we know here will turn to dust and be forgotten. None of this matters when we remain consciously aware in this moment, letting go of our desires, our aversions, and the knowing of our mind. Awareness never changes.
