Description: Today's reflection is the path of wise livelihood, I propose that this is the path of agency. Agency is kind of an extension of action. Agency has momentum. There is this notion that meditation is a passive activity. That’s simply not accurate. Half the path of the eightfold path are contemplative steps and half the steps are relational and engaged in relationship.
