I had carpal tunnel surgery in February. I hoped it would be relatively easy but I experienced a month of excruciating pain, after which my hands swelled and I now have rheumatoid arthritis. It’s treatable and I could have something a lot worse, so, particularly when I’m walking I feel especially grateful for that.

It’s the political climate that has left me feeling helpless. I’ve found that spending time saying simple metta prayers, particularly for the people whose lives are being torn apart by ICE raids, followed by another for the perpetrators. It softens my thoughts, my attitude, and my speech so that I’m less inclined to demonize other people.

Hola ¡ el moment present només pot ser d'acceptació.

Quan hom estima un altre té expectatives, com es natural, tracta de superarles i acceptar l'altre tal com es ,, però arriba un punt on sembla que no hi pugui haber retorn, d'aquesta acceptació, perquè els llindars del sentit comú san saltat. Hi pot haber acceptació també ? és difícil cal jugarse-la.

Hi ha una frase que va dir Rupert Spira t'estimo però no et necesito, cal tenir-la en compta .

La vellesa, la segona innocència, els les que hem entrat en el decreixement. Cal recordar que cada moment és ple tot l'amor intel·ligència coneixement així tal com es tal com sóc

Acceptació comprensió fins el final. Confiar en aquesta Vida , la Vida, aquesta , cuida a la Vida aquesta que som i ho es tot

As we recognize this unshakable peace that is always here, effortlessly, the attraction to the noise of mind lessens more snd more. It's accumulative and eventually becomes our default mode. 💕

Maybe it’s because we are born the same year I think? But it is so exactly what is going on….I have lived in this house for 50 years this month. The house next door has been torn down and a new one being built. They sometimes play banghra which I don’t mind. And I know sometimes it will be my house that gets torn down….But yes I seem to be getting down to the nitty gritty of every single object/thing/dish/whatever….and dealing with it. Letting it go in whatever form…..

The time seems to be going faster and faster. I guess that is relativity. Someone said “life is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end the faster it goes”….it seems to be accurate. And that is ok. Thank you Joan!!!
