Today is our last day here and we fly back to NYC tonight at around 5. I can’t help but feel that I have failed to maintain my standards of practice and feel some remorse for that. Still, the fast paced, business oriented atmosphere of the conference has not been conducive to contemplation or reflection. It’s always easy to forget that what it takes to be successful in worldly life is rarely what is necessary to succed in reaching the goal of the path. May we all practice rightly and never forget the true goal of release.

Every moment that the thought to “practice” entered your mind… it is like recalling to come back to the breath! Each time you WERE being contemplative! You were being mindful… even IF it just didn’t look like you know and honor. Practice can be done each and every moment… not just on the cushion! ~Namaste _/\_
