We sit to make life meaningful. The significance of our life is not experienced in striving to create some perfect thing. We must simply start with accepting ourselves. Sitting brings us back to actually who and where we are. This can be very painful. Self-acceptance is the hardest thing to do. If we can__ accept ourselves, we are living in ignorance, this darkest night. We may still be awake, but we don__ know where we are. We cannot see. The mind has no light. Practice is this candle in our very darkest room.
