Understanding emerges and evolves through practice. If practice does what it’s suppose to do, it exhausts the energy for seeking and Reality has a chance to present itself.

Could we hold our dream of life before us and imagine it’s a mirror of our soul waiting to come alive? Our dream awaits us.

We often rush to cultivate our gifts, but when we slow down we meet the world through what is given. Slowly is the way. 

Attar said, “Dive into the ocean hidden in your chest and discover a new world in yourself.”  Let us meet our own possibilities and call them forth. There are infinite gifts scattered among us.

Our inner life is not a refuge in which to hide from experience, but a practice ground from which to gather strength and clarity as we enter the world. In moments of thriving, we repair each other and illuminate the world.

We need to ask two perennial questions: What am I standing on? And What am I standing for? The answers lead us to what we value in the world and give us direction to stay true to this calling.

It takes courage to tap into what is innately ours and to bring forth in the world. We can then choose authentically to bring forward what is true for us as we meet the moments with a joyful participation.

The work of being wholehearted depends on the honest acceptance of all our gifts and failings. We then experience the compassion of being whole and never close our hearts to those in need.

Let us explore the Heart Sutra as “The insight that brings us to the Other Shore”. Freedom from the self is found.
