When We Put Down Ideas

When Someone Says To Us, As Thich Nhat Hanh Suggests, "darling, I Care About Your Suffering," A Deep Healing Begins.

Longing, Felt Fully, Carries Us To Belonging.

Most Of Us Grew Up With A Very Damaging Story That Something Is Wrong With Us. Gradually - Or As In My Case, Suddenly - We Become Resolved Not To Believe This Anymore. It Takes A Dedicated Practice To Follow Up On That Resolution, Because The Conditioning Is Very Strong To Keep Generating Self-demeaning Stories.

With Mindfulness Training We Are Able To Recognize When We Get Lost In Our Mental Dramas, And Bring A Kind And Nonreactive Presence To The Feelings That Accompany Them.

I Think Of Desire As The Essence That Brings Forth The Whole Universe.
