Hear Our Voice

Experience has taught me that the toughest lessons to learn are the ones we teach with gusto.  I would like to believe that all my meditation practice, training, leading and teaching makes me “a pro” at sitting quietly… waiting for news.  But it doesn’t.  It just makes me a bit more aware of how I missed it again.  Sharon Salzberg teaches that “healing is in the return.”  How annoying is that?  Meditation is one of those things, the better you get at it is measured by how attuned you are to when you’re not doing it well AND how willing and able you are to return to the effort.    This has been on my mind a lot today.  I pray that life isn’t testing you too greatly; and when it does, that you’re willing to ride the wave to master the surf.
