“Meditation is running into reality.  It does not insulate you from the pain of life.  It allows you to delve so deeply into life and all its aspects that you pierce the pain barrier and go beyond suffering.”   Henepola Gunaratana

Mediation is running into reality.  Not running from reality, but into the here and the now.

In delving deeply into my life and all its aspects I have experienced pain and broken the barrier to be in the land beyond.

What I used to think is that if you headed in the direction of pain, you would just get more and more pain that it would literally not end.

What I learned is that beyond all the pain is a place of peace.

Between you and that peace is a sea of pain that has to be acknowledged, felt and understood, it is your past coming to be reconciled.

I sit in reality and deal with what is in all moments.  Even if past feelings come to the now to be dealt with, I am here now.

No more tucking disturbing things into the suitcase called, later, or not now, instead I meet each new situation as it arises.

I am the greeter of the present moment, like a wal-mart greeter, “Welcome to Reality.”
