Day Thirty-Three

This was taken from an article on meditation in May's edition of Shambala Sun, written by Christina Feldman.

"When we embark on the meditative journey, we may enter through many different gateways. Both sorrow and joy can bring us to a point where we acknowledge the urgency of finding ways to be more at peace with ourselves, to be kinder, and to be more present in all the moments of our life.

Practicing with sincerity, persevering through the peaks and valleys that are part of every spiritual path, we begin to discover that practice does indeed bear fruit.

But this is not the end of our journey. Rather, the journey has now truly begun."

This resonates for me as I approach the final seven days of my 40 day journey. I have traveled through the desert y'all! Many, many different gateways. And I do feel as if my journey has just begun (again.) I am looking forward to what the 'next steps' will be...I am blessed to be spending a week alone, in retreat, at the completion of this 40 day round, and my focus will be "now what?"

In the coming days, I will be sharing my thoughts about this and hope that others may feel inspired to do the same. Peace.
