There’s this idea that spiritual practice will yield peaceful equanimity. And sometimes it does. That helps me keep that fantasy alive. But spirituality isn’t a shield against being knocked around by life. Speaking for myself, I get knocked around all the time. On the other hand, if I tried doing this “life” thing absent any of the spiritual teachings that have helped me, I can only imagine what a royal mess I’d make of it.
Thanks for keeping it real. And good luck with the house search. 😊❤️
Thanks Dan. Yes, I can agree with that entirely. It sucks sometimes! And also, some of the gold is in being knocked around.. thanks for the luck - it's ongoing : )
