I had a dream today in which I was buying some groceries and I couldn't keep focused on what I was doing, my mind wandering on the list of problems I carry around with me. A worker in the shop told me to take a seat for a moment, because I seemed upset. Suddenly I was in a kind of classroom with small kids. He made me sit down and listened to me. I started to tell him about all my problems and why my life sucked at the moment. I became more sad and upset. And out of the blue he gave me a small piece of paper and told me to write down what I thought was the answer to all of this. And what came up spontaneously was: This is enough.
I woke up and couldn't get out of bed for 5 minutes, digesting what this meant. I am aware that it is just a dream, but it was quite powerful. This basic trust in life, that this is already enough in a fundamental way. Almost like shikantaza applied to life itself. Just felt like sharing.
