“The point isn’t to get anywhere—this is a Journey without Goal. The point is to be right here: raw, open, present, fiercely available, with a sense of humor and an allegiance not to pleasure or to being ‘right’ but rather to learning and opening and helping others. But there is only one point: as they say, ‘all Dharma agree at one point.’ That is, to come back from our neurosis, our self-involvement, the well-intentioned but tricky ways we seek to protect ourselves from truth…to reality. A reality that is impermanent, ever-changing, not solid…and yet luminous with intelligence and beauty.” ~ @waylonlewis <> For more “When to Meditate” on elephantjournal.com
