Ahhhh … been away teaching for the week.
And as nice as staying in a hotel is, with steak every night if I wished,
With a chocolate “death star” globe containing sticky toffee pudding and ice-cream to finish -
(seriously good)
As amazing as that sounds? There’s nothing like being at home, with Sumati and Bubsy.
Home is where the heart is.
And it’s so true - in a different sense too:
Home is where your heart is:
No matter where you are, there you are.
I used to try and find peace in certain places.
What I was trying to do was escape my head by getting further and further up a mountain,
Or deeper and deeper into a river at the bottom of a valley -
And as beautiful as those experiences are,
As wonderful as being out in nature is,
My head went where I went.
Peace isn’t in a place or an activity, but in my ability to ignore the voices in my head,
And immerse myself in the moment.
Absorb myself in the here and now.
That is where you find peace too -
That is how you make sure life is filled with enjoyment and aliveness,
Rather than drudgery and overwhelm and anxiety and all those things …
Learn from the past and plan for the future, yes,
But base yourself, base your life in this moment in time,
In the presence you find beyond thought and emotion and action.
This is the only moment you can live.
You can postpone it by being regretful for a past moment or fearful for a uncertain future,
Yet now will always be waiting for you, when … IF you return to it.
Then you can really start living.
Here it is, where are you?
Go well! Arjuna
