A small reflection.

Dear friends,

I wanted to share a short reflection with you.

One of the ideas at the heart of The Dharma Diamond is that clarity does not usually arrive all at once. More often, it reveals itself gradually, in small moments – when we pause, listen more closely to our inner voice, and allow what is within us to come more clearly into focus.

In doing so, we begin to see more honestly. We become a little more truthful with ourselves, and a little more willing to see things as they are.

In that sense, Truth is not something abstract or distant. It is something very close. Something we can return to in the middle of an ordinary day. As William James said,

Truth is what puts us into working touch with reality.

Again and again.

If you would like to explore this a little more, you can read a free chapter here:

II’ll share another short reflection with you soon.

With warm wishes,
Michael
