In the washrrom at William Penn House. Come join us for class on Tuesday nights. For me, the practice and study of yoga informs this question.

There is a profound difference between being detached, being separate, and not participating fully or at all and being fully engaged in activities but not being attached to the outcome. Sometimes, after I have a fantastic time, I remember the suffering that can follow from longing for more, and I wonder whether it was worth it. I have such thoughts only fleetingly. The more I practice yoga and the attendant non-attachment to particular future outcomes based on past experience and desire, the more I am able to exult in what the present has to offer.
Sometimes I wonder why a thing appears in a particular place at a particular time. Then I wonder why I wonder. It is not as though I am going to get an answer. It can be good fun, though, speculating on the how and why as long as we don’t get too caught up in needing an answer.
