passion and confusion


I was reminded about all the tools I have and know already, I do not have to seek out side of myself except for reminders at times....
From Meditiations from the Mat book, day 1:
A spiritual practice is one that brings us full circle- not to a new self but, rather, back to the essence of our true selves. Yoga is a practice of celebrating what is. At the end of a hero's journey he finds that he did not need to go anywhere, that all he sought was inside him all along. Dorothy, having traveled across both time and space to the land of OZ, and struggled desperatly to find her way back to Kansas, discovers that she could have gone home at anytime. In the end, she learns that her adventures have simply brought her to the point where she believes this. It is the aim of all spiritual seeking to bring us home, home to the understanding that we already have everything we need.............
