It seems there’s a balance between turning our awareness to the inner and outer world. Perhaps that’s what true mastery in life entails.

There are moments in which it’s important to do one or the other. We must support our fellow humans in times of emergency or disaster.

But it’s also a whole wide world out there, always a crisis occurring in some part of the world. That balance is what enables us to rejuvenate our health and spirit when necessary, and to extend help when we can.
