Everything is happening for no reason!! This is the boundless treasure, the immeasurable gift! That rain is falling from the clouds for no reason at all! That cars are driving around down on the street! That birds are singing in the trees! That Existence is, is already unconditional love! Simply that it is, the most marvelous of all gifts, for absolutely no reason, absolutely unconditionally, without any “why” whatsoever. That the Sunset happens. That the apartment buildings are being built by that gorgeous construction crew. Just to walk to the shop to buy loaves of good bread. Just to see, to feel, to listen to the sensational talk in the cafes. Just the fact that this laughter arises out of this belly! The fact that tears flow from eyes! That Life exists for no reason! For no reason at all! For no reason, thoughts, feelings, and sensations are happening right now! What grace! What astonishment! This loss of the cause-effect model of the mind is the Joy without cause! There is no “cause” and no “effect” to “this.” A flower, a car, noise, pain, joy....all are happening without any reason to happen, with no cause-effect relationship. The Universe is in a state of Nonlinear exuberance.....

This is the Celebration of what is.
