In our dreams, or deep within the heart, every person holds a distant longing — a sense that somewhere, in some state of being, there exists a moment of deep tranquility, stability, and contentment. Throughout our lives, our souls are searching for this feeling of belonging — though we cannot describe it — and so we keep waiting, keep searching.
The familiar sense of safety we seek is a realm of calm beyond words. Why do we suffer so much and yet not know where to go? Because this place has no signposts, no guide to lead the way, and so we stumble forward in the dark, learning through trial and error.
Since time without beginning, we have been without direction. Each time we are hurt by life and react in pain, we drift further away from the peaceful realm our souls have been seeking — gathering sorrow and suffering along the way. And that is why our hearts ache.
Our journey of learning is, in truth, a return — a movement toward that place. When the heart becomes still, clarity arises. By following the quiet, pure feeling within, we begin to walk the true path.
When the heart is at peace, we finally return to the realm we have always been seeking.
