When life leads you down roads less traveled, there are fewer props, people and the familiar to keep you in the world you think you know. No two roads are alike and yet we are always looking for repeat performances so we can at least pretend to know what to expect.
This weekend while my partner was out of town, I surrendered to the now and stopped planning and preparing for tomorrow for at least 2 hours. That was a huge leap and we went to the Hsi Lai Buddhist Temple also known as the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas, a traditional Chinese Buddhist mountain monastery to regroup and get back the grander purpose.
I was surrounded by a cultural experience far removed from the everyday hustle and bustle of LA living and traveled back in time to where the smell of incense and the presence of grand statues older than I can put into context melted my so-called concerns away.
I felt at ease and walked away with one simple mantra -
When there is no doubt, there is no fear.
Have any mantras/epiphanies to put it all in perspective for you this week?

I subdue my ego and rise to my higher self which only wants peace.
