I have been taught to look for the gaps:

the gap at the end of each out-breath;


the space between thoughts;
the naturally occurring,
non-conceptual pause after a sudden shock,
unexpected noise, or moment of awe. ...
Trungpa Rinpoche advised intentionally creating these gaps by pausing to look at the sky or
stopping to listen intently.
He called this "poking holes in the clouds."

We already have what we need. The wisdom,the strength,the confidence, the awakened heart and
mind are always accessible here and now. A process of uncovering our natural openness,
uncovering our natural intelligence and warmth.
Thats why when we feel caught in darkness, suddenly the clouds can part. Out of nowhere we
cheer up or relax or experience the vastness of our minds. No one else gives this to you~ Pema
