Begin Where Your Feet Are

If you cannot find the truth right where you are, where else do you expect to find it?

Attention rarely needs a better place. It needs a slower minute. This morning it might be the weight of the cup in your hand, the small heat moving into your palm, the sound your chair makes when you shift. None of this is waiting to become meaningful. It already is. The breath works the same way: you do not travel to it. You notice it was here the whole time, leaving and returning.
