In my Tibetan Buddhist Meditation class, we did analytical meditation on 2 topics: impermanence, and patience/tolerance. So for homework we can do one at a time, or do both within the same session. When doing both, I'm struck by how similar or intertwined they are: life is impermanent, so we must be patient with change/movement. It's sort of like not clinging to desired outcomes; being okay with things as they are, and remembering to be grateful for things (as impermanence dictates they might be gone at any time). I'm glad you have an awesome sister reminding you about self care (ahem) and that you keep searching for beauty no matter what and sharing it with us!!!robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04238181152648216554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-1704649121230655772014-02-06T23:43:00.298+01:002014-02-06T23:43:00.298+01:00Sending you love.Sending you love.Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-11176359467963762562014-02-06T19:06:05.372+01:002014-02-06T19:06:05.372+01:00Au contraire, cher G, you made my day, donc merci ...Au contraire, cher G, you made my day, donc merci à toi...Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-9668287746746408502014-02-06T19:05:12.000+01:002014-02-06T19:05:12.000+01:00Ahhh, I hope that you are right that calm is next,...Ahhh, I hope that you are right that calm is next, Catherine!

Limbo, as you ...Limbo is a place, a state of being. Limbo, as you acknowledge, at the start of your post is also a dance. In the dance, the dancer tries to pass under the pole, and emerge triumphant. The key to success seems to lie in the origin of the word limbo, from the Jamaican English word, limba, to bend. According to Wiki, in the original limbo, with each successful transit under the pole, the pole was raised. This meant with each success, the dance became easier and easier. Nice! I think with your search for beauty, you are participating in very successful bending. You are bound to come through in triumph :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-86952787515774054432014-02-05T08:00:27.582+01:002014-02-05T08:00:27.582+01:00“At certain point in life” discernment and decisio...“At certain point in life” discernment and decision intersect which may take some time.<br />“Trust” and faith come together and help you wait. <br />Your photos show the raw beauty of time and place and the tiny crescent moon watched you walked by.<br /><br />Thank you for the haunting video-music.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-85809474301243726632014-02-05T05:06:22.942+01:002014-02-05T05:06:22.942+01:00Aloha Heather .. beautiful post.

However, was led here, I am certain, by Divine appointment. Allow me to share with you the words I just read:<br /><br />'My perceptual field focuses automatically in each human being, adjusting for each and every situation, providing precisely the the range of awareness that is required for that moment in time. Perfection is trusting this, accepting the field of awareness that you have in any given moment, knowing it as precisely what you need for the purpose you are there to fulfill. When you have this trust, you know yourself to be one with your Creator. You do all things well, enjoying your work and bringing happiness to those whose space and time you share. Trust first in the little things and as this habit grows, you will come to see the larger picture. <br /><br />Be with me now. Let your heart be still. Let all within the field of your awareness drift gently to a state of rest. Take time for me and I will give you a new time and a new way to use the time you have. More than the air, you need communion with your Holy Spirit. Take the time to be still, to be with me. Let yourself rest in the Eternal Being. Know the peace and security of your Creator's presence, the inheritance, the birthright you have forgotten. Sustain yourself in a restful state, trusting, while I flow refreshing through your circuitry, soothing you with grace, illuminating your understanding.To consciousness I call you, to a time of birth and awakening, to an Age of Discovery and adventure, but most of all I call you home.'Suzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07908805179119217608noreply@blogger.com
