How did I get here?

I hid a lack of wisdom behind years of accumulated knowledge.
BA, MBA, career, blah, blah, blah…

Sold my passions to buy safety and I got fear at no extra charge.
Who negotiated those terms?

Got pretty far down the path. It just wasn’t my path.
Why does society’s version of success often involve therapy?

Traded an illusion of stability for 2+ years of travel in Asia.
A marked improvement in negotiation skills.

Saw the power of truth in glimpses of awareness,
but don’t take myself too seriously.

Returned to face Western challenges with a revised perspective.
When did busy replace happy as the preferred state of being?

Decided to teach yoga until I got another “real” job.
That was seven years ago…

I discovered the secret of the sea in meditation upon the dewdrop.
