The Beginning of Enlightenment

Begin by noticing. Begin by noticing a thought, an emotion, a physical sensation. Just put your attention there for a moment with a mild curiosity. No need to change anything, no need to understand, just curious. This is the beginning of awareness, the beginning of waking up. Just noticing. Once in a while, move out from yourself and notice a sound, a smell, a sight. This is the beginning of enlightenment.
