Wherever You Go, There You Are by Jon Kabat-Zinnby Parker on TwosYou cannot imitate somebody else’s journey and still be true to yourselfMeditation does not involve trying to change your thinking by thinking some more. It involves watching thought itselfOur happiness, satisfaction, and our understanding will be no deeper than our capacity to know ourselves inwardly, to encounter the outer world from the deep comfort that comes from being at home in one’s own skin, from an intimate familiarity with the ways of one’s own mind and bodyDwelling in stillness and looking inward for some part of each day, we touch what is most real and reliable in ourselves and most easily overlooked and underdevelopedThe master travels all day without leaving home. If you let yourself be blown to and fro, you lose touch with your root. If you let restlessness move you, you lose touch with who you areJust sit. Reside at the center of the world. Let things be as they are
