We live most of our lives in thoughts, images,  dreams and expectations. When something comes to an end, or when we feel lost and confused, the question comes, "Where is the next step?" There is always somewhere we are headed, a new turn in the road to take. When we consult our thoughts, seeking an answer, it's easy to go around and around. Focusing upon images, rather than their actual life, many feel lost and betrayed. The sun may be shining, the sky is clear blue, and yet many are living in a fog. Zen practice comes to turn all of this around. The answer to questions that haunt us are always simple. The next step is right under your feet. Take it. Nowhere to go. Wherever you are is perfect right now. Just be there fully. Be there without complaining,  with attention, and even gratitude. Then the next step becomes very clear. It's right under your feet once again.
