A few years ago, my friend was telling us about working in Tacoma, WA for a week. He had heard about the amazing views of the mountains, but it had been rainy and cloudy all week and visibility was low.
The very last day he was there, the clouds shifted and he realized he had been driving his commute with what would have been a perfect view of Mt. Rainer all week.
‘It was there the whole time.’ he finishes.
Our practice can hide from us behind clouds of distraction, but it’s really right there, ready for you. Part of the practice, and probably the hardest part, is to remove the clouds so you can be fully present in your practice.
Stay Clear,
