Delight is deeper than discipline. Trust in the guidance of your delight.
Is discipline required for my eye to follow a flower to its center, its stillness? Is the eye not focused, is the mind not quieted, by sheer delight?
Discipline too often means doing what we "should" because we lack the courage to do what we love. But delight deepens delight, until we touch the bliss of silence.
At the peak of every delight is pure meditation. When we hear the most beautiful music, make the most beautiful love, taste the most beautiful ice cream, we close our eyes and sink inward.
Deepen your delight, by means of delight, until your heart discovers God, who is the source of every pleasure.
