Making my piece for Art of Being this morning (awake early), remembering the calm and serenity of the silent day at WHF. Nice to take a break from beating myself up.
Standing meditation in the morning. Be with all the movements that go with breathing, and then allow them slightly exaggerate themselves. Include all, including jitteryness and waiting. Be with body, be with mind. As they are.
Wol, yesterday I shared your frustration, today I am happy for you that you found some way to be kinder to yourself. It can be hard to drop your expectations towards yourself, I know. It is one of the things this project is good for, seeing how ones expectations shape ones everyday life.
I am very grateful for the 99 days project, and I want to thank you for it very much. (And I haven't fulfilled my plans for this 99 days period myself either.)
As a long time beater-up of myself I have empathy for Wol :) Noticing again today, an old antipathy towards brash, loud males. No idea where it comes from but no longer feel it is justified. I start to see through to the scared person inside being covered up.
Eden Haiku: I still have this utopia that we create a 'secret garden' of some sort here, that we might share with the world. A safe place in ourselves that allows us to create secret gardens in the Real World. (from: http://bit.ly/ywCd4i)
Welcome back, Wol ! ! !
Yes, happy Windhorse Farm memories . . . where this 99 day project was conceived. Thank you again, Wol, for setting this up and getting all of us underway here.
And happy 3rd, Eliza !
real pixie dust falling on page creating real secret garden from persons real and self mythological, in shared full silent instant. Happy 3, 9, 14, 57, 99, ...
