Humankind is imbued with an instinctual motive force, to continue, to persevere. It is an inborn need to realize our best even against staggering odds. Once we are aware of our warrior nature, this adventure becomes easier simply because of that knowledge.
When we treat this journey itself as a meditation, everything becomes that much more meaningful. It is filled with the light--an inner sunshine-- that we all have at our greatest depths.
Framing life as a meditation
distinguishes our path from the myriad.
Each moment writes its own poetry;
harmony stems from natural wisdom,
an eternal balance lives within all things.
The winter ends its season, blending spring-ward
with its sunshine and rain
kissing blossoms into fullness.
Virtue is but right-action
reflected by the light of inner sunshine,
the flowering of innate goodness.
It is our natural ethos.
In the end, its practice amplifies the enjoyment of life;
makes this trek estimable.
