Big Enough
The Chinese have a saying: We should try to live our life so that it’s big enough to contain all the paradoxes.

Not leaning forward
Meditation is the only intentional, systematic human activity which at bottom is about not trying to improve yourself or get anywhere else, but simply to realize where you already are.
Jon Kabat-Zinn
Where you are
You must love the crust of the earth on which you dwell.
You must be able to extract nutriment out of a sandheap.
You must have so good an appetite as this, else you will live in vain.
Thoreau
Not trying to become
Do not try to become anything. Do not make yourself into anything. Do not be a meditator. Do not become
enlightened.
When you sit, let it be. When you walk, let it be.
Grasp at nothing. Resist nothing.
Ajahn Chah, A Still Forest Pool
