Thank you, Lyssa for the beautiful and heartfelt essay about a great mind and teacher. I’ve recently had a crisis of confidence in meditation as it becomes more “corporate” and narrow-minded, but your description of the expansive and all-encompassing nature of a good mindfulness practice is inspiring and restorative. Best, Drake.
Thank you for letting me know this helped, Drake. I've definitely had those crises at times. Wes has always helped me find my way home. The beautiful thing is his legacy. I do encourage you to go to the topics index of Inquiring Mind (https://inquiringmind.com/keyword/) and see what can further inspire you. Under the topic of "doubt" there's a great interview with Stephen Batchelor, for instance. 💙

Sending you love... is the image an AI generated mash of Wes and Yoda?
Thanks, Laila. 💙
