Here Lies my Way

For me, personally, the biggest blessing of walking on the spiritual path is merging with the path. The path is life.  Life is the path.

There is no place to go, no goal to attain, but merging with life.

With this realization, I know whatever happens is precisely life plans for me.  I no longer argue with it and expect it to be different.

This place, right here, right now, is my heaven on earth; this place, right here, right now, unfolds the lessons for me; this place, right here, right now, hides the presents for me.

With this attitude, I enthusiastically join life and dance with it!  Work, relationships, preparing food, cleaning the house, people I encounter, all become beautiful messengers for me!  All these ingredients of life compose a beautiful song for me, and I happily sing along!

Will you join this magnificent symphony conducted by life with me?
