What good is your knowledge if the only time you ever use it is when things are fine, and the world is in harmony? A practice that is only effective when the world is calm is not a practice at all. Your practice is a tool that should help you find clarity, even when the seas around you are turbulent. It should not be something that needs crystal clear waters to work.
As I sit here writing this, I’m in the waiting room of the Cedar Sinai outpatient surgery center. My wife is going in to have a fibroid removed. It’s not a dangerous operation, but she’ll still be put under with an anesthetic. All week, people have been calling her, worried, with a nervous energy about them. Last night, as we lay in bed, we talked, and I asked her how she was feeling.
