He tells me that as I get older, the wheel will move faster. Time will accelerate. Years will squish together. Each birthday will arrive a little sooner than the one before. And as the wheel turns faster and faster, life will pull me to the outside, away from who I really am at my core. Away from my Dharma. That’s when Bauji takes a deep breath and begins the journey that you and I are about to take together. “Beta,” he says for the final time, “you must find your way back to the center.”
