“The ups and downs of life remind us that life is unpredictable and full of challenges. We never know what is around the next corner, and often enough, it isn’t good. We are constantly caught off guard by our hopes and expectations, and that is why we engage spiritual practice, to find a way to live without hope or expectation. Does that sound bleak? Perhaps, but if you think about it, there is something wonderful there, a kind of freedom that opens up all kinds of possibilities.
