Instead of chasing the future, or dwelling in the past; on the Buddhist path, we are given the opportunity, through meditation, to work with what’s here right now. There is no path apart from our very own footsteps, no rhythm to strive for apart from our natural breath and heartbeat. While things might not always be going our way, the path of meditation offers us respite amidst the eye of the storm, in the sacred open space of the present moment as it is.
