Endless. . .
There’s no final certificate for awakening, no finish line for enlightenment. The spiritual path isn’t a race — it’s a rhythm, a continual returning.
Every time you breathe mindfully, forgive, or act with compassion, you’re walking the path. Every time you fall, get lost, and find your way again — you’re still walking it.
The Buddha’s journey didn’t end under the Bodhi tree. It began there. Awakening is not an escape from life, but a deeper entry into it — moment by moment, breath by breath.
When we stop expecting perfection, practice becomes joyful. Every stumble is part of the dance. Every ending, a beginning.
So walk gently. Bow often. Keep learning, keep loving, keep waking up.
The path never ends — and that’s its greatest blessing.
Peace and Love, Jim
