What draws us into active study instead of just accepting that teachings or principles are right for us and live our lives accordingly? There are those of us that must find out for ourselves, find our own truth through study, reflection, and experiences. It’s not an easy road, but it is one with great rewards. We find ourselves in a life of constant research and study as we look for inner peace in a world that requires constant decision making. We look with humility for that feeling that this is the right answer now, and we do that with the help of a meditative practice that provides our minds with a kinder gentler process. A process that does not judge, but rather provides space to consider, space to think carefully about the options that are available, space to walk a meditative path to find the truth. This week we are sharing some books that can help us all sink into contemplative reading this fall to find our place of strength that only comes from knowing yourself, and your principles. A practice of focused inquiry and reflection on the smallest of details that can shine light on our best choices. Until next time, Kathy Donchak
