Of Nature And Compassion
The choice isn’t between progress and compassion, but simply between caring and not caring.

Ultimately the meaning of our spirituality is realized through the practice of finding meaning in every-day living.
As we practice letting go and being okay – breathing, accepting, allowing – we find peace waiting gently, curled up at our feet, where it’s been all along.
I wonder if by constantly looking outward and finding things to fix we’ve become a society that doesn’t know how to look inside and love what we find.
What I found at the Shaolin Temple was that I couldn’t find peace; I had to learn instead to be at peace with what I found in me… both the warrior and monk.
The path — whether it be in the Himalayas, the yellow brick road or Broadway and 74th — is the destination itself. And that’s real-life spirituality for ya!
