“If you are unable to find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?”
― Dōgen
I've noticed recently that my attention has been continually distracted from the gifts all around me to the idea that I have to do something more or be somewhere else to find them. If I genuinely can't find joy right here, right now, I believe it is a truth that I will not find it by doing something or by going somewhere else.
And it comes back down to basic practice - presence and awareness. Combine that with a deep sense of gratitude and a smile emerges, worries dissolve, and I am exactly where I need to be....to be.
And so this is the journey of life for me.....
