New year's day is a wonderful opportunity to reflect on a fact: After a rather long journey, the earth is back to the same place where it was 365 days ago.
As it is with the earth, so it is with us.
Despite all our wanderings and journeys; despite all our external search for meaning and happiness; despite the variety of paths, ideas and isms that have flirted with us.... the search for truth, peace and happiness brings us right back to the place where we started: Here.
And, 'here' is not a specific place identifiable in space. It is wherever I am... now.
