Hello everyone and welcome to this Monday morning meditation and I come to you from having taught a retreat at our retreat center in Santa Cruz

I see some of the names are people who are there and

so for this morning of the names are people who are there.

So for this morning,

I'd like to suggest that you take the road less traveled.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, and I took the one less traveled,

and that made all the difference.

And so the road that I suggest today

is as you're being mindful, as you're present for your experience,

take the road where there's no comment.

No comment.

We live in commentary, we live in judging, we live in stories,

we live in planning the future, remembering the past.

All those are either disconnected from the present moment

or some way that we're trying to manage the present moment.

But there is another way, the way less traveled,

the way of being aware in a very simple way without comment,

without telling ourselves something what it means, telling us what it's about, telling us where it's going, the expectation,

without needing to judge what's happening, come to conclusions about what's happening,

where there's an emphasis on a radical simplicity to what is happening.
