Meditation/Journal Prompt

Take a look at this past week and think of something that occurred that made you feel happy, and something that occurred that made you feel sad. Look deeply for the inherent existence of happiness and of sorrow. Where does it exist? Explore your thoughts about these two events and see if you can trace them back to your own mind, your own expectations, your own perceptions. This is an exploration. Discover for yourself what is true.
