I've had many times when I meditate, and it seems like my mind is just going a 100 miles an hour. And yet, when I stand up and walk into life, there's more room in my mind. I guess that's how I would describe it...
Someone once said to me, "The best in that spiritual instruction is when you wake up in the morning and you say, 'I wonder what's going to happen today?'" And then carry that kind of curiosity through your life.
