Daily Zen - Thursday, January 23

The art of life is to stay wide open

and be vulnerable, yet at the same time 

to sit with the mystery and the awe

and with the unbearable pain 

--- to just be with it all.

~ Ram Dass

The spiritual journey is individual, 

highly personal. It can't be organized

or regulated. It isn't true that 

everyone should follow one path. 

Listen to your own truth.
