Ann, appreciate your comment especially having attempted some sort of meditation today – sitting, being, non-judgment, breathing…and coming back to that place of peace will take me a lifetime of discipline I’m sure! Somehow learning to play piano was easier…I was just wondering to self, how do I practice when I have 3 kids and not an early morning riser LOL. I think the key here and something that I’m experiencing more frequently and although “intellectually” understand, is the power of feelings/emotions and being with what is in acceptance. As humans I think we are starved of true connection, compassion – it exists and it’s awesome when the door opens – two weeks ago I met a stranger who said, “we’ve been waiting for you” – that’s a strong message and the next day I shared tears of compassion for a group of relative strangers and felt every ounce of love for our humaneness and collective experience. Again, hard to describe but awesome. As a few teachers in my life will say – take care of you and you will have so much more to give others and also the courage to speak our truth – that’s something that simply happened that day and it came from the heart – whoa! I think for the moment I stopped thinking….

I think many of us including myself live unconsciously, and at the same time we are so desperate to feel awaken by something. I know mindfulness exist, but the problem is executing the discipline to change the current way of thinking – actually a better statement would be not thinking. Some many of us are going through life not thinking! At times we are starved for intellectual companionship, and then we are side tracked by the beep or vibration of our cell phones.
Curious to know what happened two weeks ago?
