Yoga and other philosophies outline two spiritual journeys. There is the aesthetic path of a solitary, contemplative life. Or the Middle Path of life amidst the chaos of relationships, work and daily distractions while keeping an eye on enlightenment.
This Middle Path is a balancing game. We keep in step with the laws and expectations of our society. And at the same time, invite the mysteries of the Universal into each moment.
We can practice this path of balance in so many ways- patience softens determination; work sweetens relaxation; letting go gives us what we were holding onto.
Until the Middle Path begins to feel like the perfect place to be.
