Tricycle Week Winter 2021: Day Two

To bring us comfort, all of us, we create the perception that the world we live in is a reality. That’s fine, because we need to have some level of consensus to exist. However, we can hold two opposing thoughts at the same time. Today I talk about that with an article from Pema Duddel.

Life has a wonderful way of leading us to where we can best serve, even when it seems the hardest. Once his divorce was final, Aryeh Green set out on a journey to hike the Israel Trail. On that journey he found courage, forgiveness and peace of mind. Most of all, he found healing. Come listen.

Today I had the absolute pleasure of speaking with Aryeh Green, the author of My Israel Trail. In his book he details the journey by foot he undertook traveling the Israel trail for some 400 miles. On that pilgrimage, motivated by a painful divorce, he found forgiveness, healing and transformation. Today I read a few passages from his book.

One of the benefits of meditation is its ability to help us feel a little calmer. It might not be serving to go into it as the goal, but it does offer that as a pleasant perk. However, it may also be unserving to use meditation to escape the challenges of daily life.

In many episodes of Zen Commuter and Calmer in Five I have mentioned that I bring questions to my meditations in order to gain clarity or wisdom. Today I talk about the methods I use to do that, along with some other things to be aware of.
