Today, let’s cultivate an inner fire toward what matters most.

Inner fire is limitless enthusiastic energy that inspires deep focus and heartfelt presence. Our inner fire is cultivated by waking up to what really matters to us and then sincerely dedicating to those aspirations (presence, truth, love, awakening, etc.). What matters most is revealed through deep presence, by acknowledging that control is and illusion, and by embracing the wisdom of impermanence.

TRAIL MANTRA

Death comes for us all.

TRAIL SNACK

As we cultivate an inner fire through a practice of presence,

the more we’re in touch with what we authentically care about
the more at home we feel with who we are
the more in touch we are with what really matters
the more we’re connected to all that is
the more we’re aligned with our Self
the more open we are to what is deeply embedded in each experience.
the more we allow for any circumstance to bet part of our awakening

“Gamble everything for love.
If you’re a true human being,
half-heartedness does reach to majesty.

You set out to find God,
but then you keep stopping for long periods
at mean-spirited roadhouses.”

– Rumi
