“There is no enlightenment outside of daily life.”

~

Thich Nhat Hanh

our practice of an open heart, of equanimity, is a practice of being WITH life, not escaping it. as we sit with ourselves, befriending ourselves, we are also learning how to be with life, how to befriend life. so our sitting on a cushion or chair, prepares & practices us for being in the world. how we love is shown in how we love ourselves, how we love our neighbor. this is how we practice love. this is how love is made real. we wake up from our slumber through meeting ourselves & life in all that life brings up – situations, experiences, relationships – the whole landscape, all around us is teaching us how to be awake & how to love. this is why it is often said that Life is our greatest teacher.

are we open to this?
