More affirmations culled from The Book of Awakening by Mark Nepo:
When feeling urgent,
you must slow down.
His explanation is particularly good. "A sense of urgency is a terrible illusion. [He's saying this and he has cancer.]
…When feeling like I will die if I don't have your approval, I need, more than ever, to die to my need for your approval."
Stop talking, stop thinking,
and there will e nothing you will not understand.
— Seng-Ts'an
Originally, the word power meant able to be. In time, it was contracted to mean to be able. We suffer the difference.
And if there is nothing that expresses the spirit of this blog, it is this quote:
In a world that lives like a fist
mercy is no more than waking
with your hands open.
