Bare Essentials — Sunrise Path

Bare essentials:

it’s now reduced to just a few simple things, like the simplicity of breath and the gentle stretch of body, a quiet, contemplative moment or two, kindness to all, gratefulness, and being able to forgive myself and others -that’s the entirety of my spiritual path.

nothing more is needed.

at a certain point in life, or so it has been for me, everything else is let go of, all but these few essential practices are maintained, and truly, they’re not really a practice. They’re more an expression of my deepest, surest self that’s now offered to the world.

I’m no longer interested in acquiring more knowledge.

it’s time to give myself away

down to the point of bare essentials.

and live my life from here.

Peace, Eric
