Notice your approach.
A meditation on perspective, and being here while now is happening.
1I get it, we want to feel like we have control. Let's build peace instead.
Your thoughts have the power you give them.
Undealt with stuff takes up space that you need. Let's reclaim that space.
Let me remind you, I am behind you.
Paying attention improves with practice, let's do it.
May all beings everywhere be happy and free, may my actions in some way contribute.
Pith helmets on! Let's see what's down there.
Between shutting down and reacting there is an option, it's called observation.
When someone brings you a gift, you don't have to accept it.
Just by feeling whatever your senses show, you are meditating.
Stop waiting to feel ready.
You are not your thoughts.
When you call yourself to the present, there are a million places to set your mind.
Do your work, then step back. This is the only path to serenity.
