Meditation Is Not About Doing

None Of Us Would Choose To Be Sisyphus; Yet In A Sense, We All Are.

Underneath Our Nice, Friendly Facades There Is Great Unease. If I Were To Scratch Below The Surface Of Anyone I Would Find Fear, Pain, And Anxiety Running Amok. We All Have Ways To Cover Them Up. We Overeat, Over-drink, Overwork; We Watch Too Much Television.

Life Is A Second-by-second Miracle.

We're Constantly Waking Up To What We're About, What We're Really Doing In Our Lives. And The Fact Is, That's Painful. But There's No Possibility Of Freedom Without This Pain.

There Is A Foundation For Our Lives, A Place In Which Our Life Rests. That Place Is Nothing But The Present Moment, As We See, Hear, Experience What Is. If We Do Not Return To That Place, We Live Our Lives Out Of Our Heads. We Blame Others; We Complain; We Feel Sorry For Ourselves. All Of These Symptoms Show That We're Stuck In Our Thoughts. We're Out Of Touch With The Open Space That Is Always Right Here.
