The Wider Path:<\/span><\/p>\n

You make time for inaction each day, to protect your actions from being mad. You remove your watch, turn the clock face away and escape for a moment the slavery of time. You remove your shoes, because you don’t need to be anywhere or rush to anyone’s aid. The ‘phone is off, because if people are worth your attention, they’re also worth your withdrawal. You sit or kneel, comfortable yet alert, for you wish neither to fidget nor to fall asleep.<\/p>\n

Your palms are upwards, for you are daring to be open as you review the last 24 hours. Mindful of events and feelings, you allow all things into view without judgement.<\/p>\n

And so it is you become a wider path for reality to run through, first in the stillness and then beyond.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00c9largir le chemin:<\/span><\/p>\n

Chaque\u00a0jour, r\u00e9servez-vous du temps pour l’inaction afin de permettre \u00e0 vos gestes de garder leur sens. Enlevez votre montre, tournez l’horloge contre le mur, et \u00e9chapper un moment \u00e0 l’esclavage du temps. Enlevez vos chaussures, car vous n’avez pas besoin d’aller nulle part ni de voler au secours de quelqu’un. D\u00e9branchez le t\u00e9l\u00e9phone, car s’il y a des gens qui m\u00e9ritent votre attention, ils m\u00e9ritent \u00e9galement votre retrait. Asseyez-vous ou agenouillez-vous, confortablement install\u00e9 mais concentr\u00e9, \u00a0pour \u00e9viter d’avoir la bougeotte ou de vous endormir.<\/p>\n

Vos paumes tourn\u00e9es vers le haut, ayez l’audace de passer en revue avec\u00a0\u00a0ouverture\u00a0d’esprit les derni\u00e8res 24 heures. Soyez attentif aux \u00e9v\u00e9nements et aux \u00e9motions et permettez-vous de tout consid\u00e9rer sans exercer de jugement.<\/p>\n

Et c’est ainsi\u00a0que vous deviendrez un chemin plus large, que la r\u00e9alit\u00e9 pourra emprunter, d’abord dans le calme et puis au-del\u00e0.<\/em><\/p>\n
