The flow of life is no different than the waves of the ocean, sometimes calm, sometimes rough, sometimes gentle and predictable, sometimes stormy and unpredictable. How you navigate those waves of life is up to you. Calm and steady no matter the circumstances? Or panicky and tossed about? The Middle Way knows that life is unpredictable at times, that excitements ensue, that depressions tug at the heart, that the mind pulls first in one direction and then in another. But the Middle Way declares that with practice one learns to go with the flow in an undulating manner that neither goes too high nor too low, except when appropriate. Learning the Middle Way allows for body, mind and spirit to be in alignment as often as possible, and thus for life’s vicissitudes to be acceptable and navigable without attachment.
Sending you love,
