Such a thoughtful and concise reminder of why we benefit from dedicating time to be present with oneself in meditation or walking in nature or jogging.
It gives me pause: why don’t I do this more often? The jungle I must traverse before reaching the starting point of sitting on my meditation cushion or lacing up my hiking shoes includes the myriad responsibilities of daily life and the unending invitations from my smart phone to lose myself in another way—in emails and multimedia stimulation.
And yet my past experience of discovering the sweetness of emptiness, the balm of dropping quickly and deeply into that space of infinite wisdom, calls me and beckons me to return.
And thus I am so grateful for the timing of your post — a synchronicity? — that coincides with a new morning schedule I’ve just put in place that blocks out an hour each morning for my spiritual practice. Thank you for this timely inspiration and affirmation!
