"To sit alone in the lamplight with a book speed out before you
and hold intimate converse with men of unseen generations ~
such is pleasure beyond compare."
Yoshida Kenko, ESSAYS IN IDLENESS
It is not necessarily important what practice we hold to our heart, but it is important to revere spiritual aspects. It does not matter what country or language or faith or heritage one originates from; it matters that the heart is filled with deep conversations of the wise.
The first years of life are spent on folly and focusing on what we have been instructed to pursue. Our attention is spread across social, cultural, and religious trainings. It is when we pause to listen to our inner voice and to grasp the importance of being present, we begin to experience the deeper meaning to life.
While we sit in silence, exploring our inner discoveries, we are brought aware of how much we have been impacted by our curiosity with the written word of unseen generations. The wisdom of the ages suspends us in deep thought discerning the truth of life. Find a source, open the mind, and allow the inner spirit to lead us deeper into the realms of expansive awareness.
