Maybe the next great spiritual revolution isn’t enlightenment.

Maybe it’s the end of the search for enlightenment.

The end of positive thinking as a substitute for grieving.

The end of using meditation to avoid our anger,

non-duality to avoid our wounds, transcendence to avoid our deepest pain.

Maybe what we are truly hungry for is not a higher state of consciousness,

but radical permission to be gloriously, heartbreakingly, magnificently human.

To experience fear without calling it failure.

To experience doubt without trying to heal it.

To feel anger without judging it.

To feel down without labelling it a “low vibration.”

To discover that ordinary life, with all its messiness and tenderness,

was never standing in the way of awakening.

It was the damn way.

~Jeff Foster

how will I decide to just be here?

inquiry for today~ measure your life in moments of love…

all parts of the whole….

It may be that when we no longer know which way to go

we have come to our real journey.

~Wendell Berry
