What does it mean to practice with integrity when nobody's watching?

What if unanswered questions aren't problems, but companions on the path?
I write them in my journal and leave them unanswered. That feels more honest.

Some mornings, I sit on my mat and just watch my breath.
I feel the weight of my body, hear the traffic outside. Maybe this unremarkable moment is what I was searching for all along.

The best yoga teacher I ever had told me to stop coming to her class.
