WAITING FOR THE BELL TO RING (Taking The Next Step)

Often it's hard to take the next step. We don't know where to go, what will happen, or if we're going n the right direction. We can lose years of our lives wondering, doubting ourselves, or fearing the outcome.  Although we long to start a new era, relationship, or experience, so many of us are stopped, and put our lives on hold.  We don't know if we're ready or clear enough about what to do. Zen practice has a wonderful response to this dilemma. It is actually the very practice of taking the next step, the next breath, of digesting our lives so that our next moves come naturally. In fact, the Next Step appears every moment, right here  in front of us. When we practice, we cannot help but make it time and again.
