When we connect with the intimacy of our practice, the "I" falls away and we give life the breathing space it needs to teach us all that we need to learn.
This practice offers us a training in honesty: to see the way it is, to see the obstacles we need for growth, and the foolishness that can make us wise.
Just as we cannot force our breathing, neither can we force our life: it is what it is. Our challenge is to live wholeheartedly and intimately with all that comes our way.
