The ones who swear, and get jealous, and kick their cat once in a while, and sometimes drink too much, or wanna hide under a blanket for a week when they feel like shit.<\/p>\n
The ones who do or don\u2019t meditate (because it doesn\u2019t really matter).<\/p>\n
The ones who don\u2019t necessarily l\u00f3\u00f3k or act spiritual and flawless and sage-like.<\/p>\n
The ones who own their darkest moments, and put them right next to their brightest experiences.<\/p>\n
I believe that would be helpful.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d like to see spirituality as the most normal thing in the world.<\/p>\n
The vibrant, living glue that holds everything together.<\/p>\n
And the building blocks of our everchanging stories.<\/p>\n
The beauty, and the ugliness.<\/p>\n
The pain, and the relief.<\/p>\n
The unconsciousness, and the consciousness.<\/p>\n
No beads, no robes, no pictures of enlightened bearded corpses, no mantra\u2019s, no yoga, no silent retreats, no meditation cushion, no fucking namaste.<\/p>\n
At least not as an obligation, as proof of anything.<\/p>\n
Just this tiny bit of being awake to something other than our mental circus and hopeless stories, a glimmer of this elusive totality.<\/p>\n
While totally keeping it real.<\/p>\n
I believe it would be the biggest thing in the world.<\/p>\n
