our curriculum

If you’re involved with relationship with parents or children, 

instead of saying, "I can’t do spiritual practices because

 I have children," you say,

 "My children are my spiritual practice." 

If you’re traveling a lot, your traveling becomes your yoga.

You start to use your life as your curriculum for coming to God. 

You use the things that are on your plate, that are presented to you.

 So that relationships, economics, psychodynamics—

all of these become grist for the mill of awakening.

 They all are part of your curriculum.
