Everything simply arises and falls away again; like waves on the ocean... I love that analogy. Yet we love our continuously running commentary and explanations of being... our big complicated systems and concepts..and this idiot (me) is no exception...but...

Karuna-Metta today, mantras, two meaningful PaB sessions...

Nice "check in" with my younger sister who described her daughter's gymnastic journey, and the way that when there is a fall, or set-back, there is a need to bodily address that... not just mentally, but to get in touch physically, with confidence. It isn't a former confidence; the fall is to be included in the new ground... new leap.

This reminded me of this morning's session, where Bruce said, "Let's say that I had something tragic happen when I was a child . . . It is important that my story include this trauma - integrate it into my life's story - in a coherent way. . .
Otherwise it becomes an "implicite memory...." - (not something that I am conscious of) -- and may continually "threaten" my emotional stability in ways that I am not even aware of."

What I felt was interesting about the fall integrated into the leap, was the sense of openness. It isn't going back but dropping becomes energetic, as we talked about in the 1pm session today (not yet posted).. openness activated. edited 01:19, 2 Jul 2012
