"THERE DO EXIST ENQUIRING MINDS, which long for the truth of the heart, seek it, strive to solve the problems set by life, try to penetrate to the essence of things and phenomena and to penetrate into themselves. If a man reasons and thinks soundly, no matter which path he follows in solving these problems, he must inevitably arrive back at himself, and begin with the solution of the problem of what he is himself and what his place is in the world around him. For without this knowledge, he will have no focal point in his search. Socrates’ words, “Know thyself” remain for all those who seek true knowledge and being."

Finding Balance

It's always about beginning again isn't it?

In this moment and this moment and this moment - from wherever I am. That is the beauty of this inner work. Even if I fall off the inevitable cliffs I can trust that if I keep moving and come back to this inner attention and awareness of the sensation of my body, I will find my way back to balance again; sometimes by myself, and sometimes with (as those famous Beatles once said) with a little help from my friends.

Ain't life grand?

Peace
