What Else Can We Do But Sit Down?

Description

What else can we do but sit down, if we’re trying to cultivate a settled body and mind? What else can we do but sit down and meditate, quietly, each day, noticing our wild mind and our broken heart? 

I wish there was a book or a podcast or even a teacher, to show me another way. Maybe an easier way or at least a quicker one. For sure the good books and podcasts and teachers are wonderful, essential. But they’re still just pointing the way. No one can actually walk the path but me. And you.

After years and eons of wishful thinking, in the waning hours of my current trip around the sun, that’s where I’m landing: that there just isn’t anything else can we do, but sit down.
