The great Indian poet Kabir reminding us that at every moment in our life we are challenged to live fully.  We need not wait for some time in the future to find the “right conditions” for happiness. There is no such thing as a perfect time. Now is the only time we have –  to face into our fears, to shake off what we know is holding us back, to let go of whatever we are carrying that  no longer gives us life, to cross the river ahead of us.

Wherever you are is the entry point

I said to the wanting-creature inside me:
What is this river you want to cross?
There are no travelers on the river-road,
and no road.

Be strong then, and
enter into your own body;
there you have a solid place
for your feet.
Think about it carefully!
Don’t go off somewhere else

If you don’t break your ropes
while you’re alive,
do you think ghosts will do it after?
