this is how it is right now
I said this a lot during the lockdown six years ago. “This is how it is right now,” I’d say to the people who had started meditating with me on Zoom (once we’d figured out how to do that). “This is how it is right now,” I’d say to my daughter as she was yanked from her dream of a life into the dismal captivity of her childhood bedroom. “This is how it is right now,” I’d say to every masked som

“Your life is your practice. Your spiritual practice does not occur someplace other than in your life right now, and your life is nowhere other than where you are.
