The “middle way” described by Buddha is often mistakenly presumed to mean placement somewhere between this way or that, or that “truth” is found between the extremes many humans take sides on. It’s not that at all. The “middle way” describes a “path” that cannot be followed. In other words, there is no way. Most searchers are on a treadmill pounding out marathons of “ways” going nowhere, never realizing that the way they have taken is the reason. Do you see? If you think you know the way or buy into someone’s way, you’re lost and likely to run a long time before figuring out it’s not the way.
Get off the treadmill and go for a walk to no place in particular. Enjoy the sights and nix that conversation by the “stream of consciousness” in your head. You won’t find a “way,” but you might discover that “where you are, is an excellent introduction to what YOU are.
