Take the "er" Out

Take the "er" out of feel-er, think-er, own-er of bodies.
Take the "er" out of know-er, and connect-er to awareness.
The "er" assumes a do-er, a self-er, and receiver.
Take the "er" out, de-centers.
Try on the possibility that there is no-thing doing the 
feeling and thinking and witnessing and connecting.
Why would this matter?
Well, if there's no "er," then how can experience happen?
What's left, without self-ers?
Happenings. Lots and lots and lots of happening.
Not knowers of happenings.
Not awarenesses of happenings.
Just happenings.
Instead of experience-er of things,
it's simply all actual experience.
