Becoming un-Lost … (09/27/12)
“I think that many people become depressed because they feel stuck; their lives have become static, where no progress is being made in any direction; usually because the path they desire the most is unavailable. And even though the way they want to walk is closed, they are unable to accept that they can choose another path. And the truth is, there is always another path — there is always an alternative way resting right beneath your feet. So stop worrying, and just get up and do something you CAN do, rather than grieving what you can’t.” ~ anonymous
If we keep focusing on where we want to go — where we think we will get the most happiness or pleasure, then we will always eventually reach a dead end (literally) — and we will end up getting nowhere at all.
And yet, in every moment of our lives — right at the center of every one of our difficulties and every one of our conundrums, there is an alternative route; a route that is always open, and a route that always leads to Peace …
It is Kindness that is always an option;
… it is Kindness that is that Way.
