What do we know? That we are, but if we don't know who we are, then we don't know the we that is. So itt may be truer to say that something is, and that provides a base for something more.
If we know that something is then at least three things are implied: there is a something, there is a someone and there is somespace, i.e. the space between the someone and the something, and somespace is occupied by the relationship of the someone and the something to one another.
These three elements in turn suppose a fourth; and that is the totality of the three; and if we postulate a pouch inside which they fit, then there is the possibility of something else over and beyond them, like other someones and somethings, which take us into the fifth and beyond. But when all this is said: what do we know?

Yours for the asking
First, be thankful. In a sense, that's enough. Your thankfulness changes your relationship. Be thankful for what? By all means be thankful for this or that, which will change your relationship with this or that. Better, be thankful for life, for life is what you have. More than that, life is who you are. You are life, surrounded by life, relating to life. When you are thankful for life, you change your relationship with life.
Second, know that everything is evolving, or not evolving in the moment. Life continues to propitiate life. You may see some of it, a relationship, a flower, an opening out of your consciousness. Each of us sees so little, but the underlying truth can be seen. And what else would you see?
Third, ask for guidance. For there is what you are aware of and what you are not aware of. There is consciousness that you are conscious of, and there is consciousness that you are not conscious of, and there is a consciousness that is greater and vaster than the consciousness you routinely access. Yet you can at least ask for guidance, and you will be guided; you may even experience guidance. It is yours for the asking. And if there were such a form, if there were such a process, why would you not engage?
Thank you.

Gliding through the world
There's a feeling of relief, to still be alive, not that I am aware of any impending challenge, it's just majestic. And I am grateful for this breath, and this one, even though in most moments, I don't remember to be thankful. It is enough to be connected and to remember the connection from time to time.
Where else is there to go? Wherever you go, you are you. What else is there to do? Whatever you do, you are you. And so we glide through the world, imagining it all to be real.
Who else is there to be? For that's the question. To be what you do not know yourself to be, to become what you have not yet discovered, but dimly sense, to become unbecoming, to cease, to be.
