‘As we become empty (of our everyday concerns and obsessions) we are able to show up to life. To show up is to be present without our predetermined ideas and judgments. This is both simple and rigorous. We do this challenging work of ‘clearing our mirror’ not in a monastery or hidden in a cave but in (the hurly-burly of) everyday life… There is no distant realm to be reached after lifetimes of striving; no journey from here to there. What the Sufi seeks is only and always just here, just now… And yet, there is a road to be travelled.’
(Murshid Elias Amidon 2005)
