Travels in the Middle Land

The Middle Land, other than being the area of the Ganges Valley that the Buddha frequented in the course of his forty years of wandering, is that present awareness that stands between impressions and their designation.  Travelling this fluid country is the theme of Dhamma practice.

What follows are some of the twisting tracks, dead-end trails and voices that have moved through me (in approximately chronological order) on their way to the silence. If they encourage some of yours to do the same, then my country is enriched.
