Show Notes

The roads and pathways of our minds are varied and endless, as is the traveling among them. In meditation, the traveling a can be like rolling along an empty highway through a spacious, open landscape; as we go about our daily doings and beings, it can be like driving and navigating the familiar streets and avenues of one's hometown; and when encountering people, events, and situations with particular charges of energy, it can be like getting swept up in rush hour, stuck in a traffic jam, redirected by construction, or delayed by an accident. The quality of our experience changes in accord with the situation we find ourselves in, relentlessly so at times. Yet there is single ground running beneath all these roads - a ground of awareness -  with which we can always be in touch, regardless of circumstances, and that can make all the difference as we journey endlessly along.
