Life’s always varying circumstance is like a never-ending roller coaster ride which may thrill or please us at times and at others sicken and even frighten us. On occasion, we may be anxious with it; at other times, not.
We cannot stop or control the roller coaster. We ride it to the grave.
Through meditation and yoga, we can transcend the ride for a bit and become its witness.
Herein, we can begin to discover and explore a lasting joy and peace not contingent on any circumstances, but a presence inherent in life itself, here now, in this human body.
It is paradoxical, perhaps, that in recognizing this joy, we find it has been with us all along, unrecognized in its many guises on this roller coaster of life.
Let go, and enjoy the ride!
