Sharing the Joys of Journey

Recently I attended a conference on Meditation. The meeting was open to all faiths and beliefs. As I listened to others speak about their meditation practices, I realized more clearly just how necessary it is to be on a journey to understand what it is all about. If you aren't on the journey, then such things as faith, silence, destination will mean little. It would be like watching cricket while having no clue to the rules or purpose of the game. Interesting, perhaps, but not exciting.

To be excited about the journey, one needs practical experience of it. But there is something more...those of us actively pursuing our journeys need to share our thoughts and goals with one another. Such sharing enriches, comforts, encourages, enlightens, and generally assists.

I encourage you to share your journey with someone. Talk about the process, the humiliating failures (they can be quite comical), the deep insights, the joy of pursuing something as wonderful as God. By sharing your journey, you can reap rich rewards.
