With an allergic sneezing fit and an ankle that is hard to put down in sitting position, I am distracted today. I consider sneezing in the sense of larger time. Letting myself be pulled in instead of looking, I am in a 'small' sense of time, that which is bound be either having the sneezind continue or finding relief.
There is much to be said for a larger time, in other words, sneezing never lasts, even if it goes on for a whole day or a whole week. Of course I can take care of it and that will help, but there is no guarantee that it will end. The only guarantee is that it will change. So many problems seem available to pull me into an I vs it or this time vs next time or in vs out or fixed vs broken.
I define problems that way, or I define everything that comes into consciousness that way, as a comparison to something. Touching the stone brings some relief; watching is specific, watching is release; it is the opposite of holding this or that; although..... there you go, right, watching can swiftly become freedom 'from' and then it is just a thought. When it is JUST freedom, it is real, it is in the context of direct experience; feeling.
