The Fact of Simple Occurrence
When we compare on the basis of assumptions of mind
We divide the world into good and bad
Suddenly there is so much discrepancy between people
Between things as they are and as they should be
But as we become interested in what is common between us
We go beyond form and boundaries
We find basic aliveness the common factor in all humans and all so called living things
But when we look at a rock or a rotting branch
We find that the rock and the hand that holds it are made of the same thing
The rock occurs the same way a human body occurs
The fact of occurrence or happening is common to all forms
And occurrence just simply occurs
