Summary
We live leaning forward — toward the next achievement, the next recognition, the next love. Even spiritual life can become another version of that leaning. We hope to become wiser, freer, more awakened. And in that hope, we keep contentment always postponed. Waiting is a subtle addiction. At best, something we hoped for happens, and we feel briefly soothed. Then the habit returns. The search resumes. “This is it”, interrupts the momentum. It is not a grand realisation. Just a return. A reminder to inhabit the moment. Again and again. ★ Support this podcast ★
