There is no right or wrong path in life.
Yeah, it probably wasn't what you were expecting to read. And you may disagree. And you may be right.
But let's consider the notion for a moment that there is no right or wrong path just to see what comes of it.
It doesn't mean
choices are essentially irrelevant, or that there is no right or wrong in
choice. It tells us exactly the opposite. Choice is everything. If we have
handled one moment badly, we have, and we must face what comes of that. But
more urgently we are called to focus on what to do next. Now. To open our
hearts and find the courage to change direction if necessary to move toward
that which is kind, generous, accepting and merciful. To shed our scripts about who we are supposed to be, our shells,
and be naked before our own being, before Being itself.
It is in this way that we are born again. It is this way we
walk with the spirit of God. It is in this way we recognize that samsara is
nirvana. It is in this way we see the Kingdom of God in ourselves and the face
of God in neighbors. This is the path of no path. This is the the beginning and
the end of the spiritual journey. It is where the prophets, Jesus and the
saints walk. It is the way of Lao Tsu and the Buddha. It is always before you no matter which way
you turn.
Remove your shoes. Every step in on holy ground.
