We have all begun a journey.
A journey into our minds.
A journey of discovery and exploration of who and what we are.
Taking the first step is difficult,
and in the first days of practice there is often restlessness,
or sleepiness, some boredom, laziness, doubts,
and perhaps regret about getting involved at all.
It is not an easy thing that we have set about to do,
this training and purification of the mind.
There's no one else who can do it for us.
We each have to do it for ourselves.
Be aware, moment to moment, paying attention to what's happening
in a total way.
There's nothing mystical about it.
It's so simple, direct and straightforward; But it takes doing.
That's what meditation is all about.
