This reminder is a map of life. If we consider a challenge, an obstruction, a barrier as a prevention of our destination then it will prevent us moving forward.
By re-framing the barrier into a part of the journey’s map we skip over the disgruntlement, the despair. Instead it’s just part of life to observe and continue moving forward.
Meditation is called “practice” because practice is required daily to train for an awakened existence.
Daily, I must penetrate these barriers, to live the life of liberation. This is what gets me to my cushion each day…I call it Cushion Wisdom!
