I am feeling sad, discouraged, and overwhelmed today. So not sure if I'll be leaving a puddle of peace, or a puddle of tears in meditation today. Either way, you can join me, we can #sitTogether
(I'll make sure the metaphorical tissue box is within reach 😭)

It rained last night, the air is fresh and cool. The birds are chirping up a storm (hopefully not literally). My windows are wide open and I am about to settle in on my floor to do some sitting meditation, indoors while feeling very outdoors.
Throw open a window and join me, we can #sitTogether

Photo from my lil nature hidey hole today. Sitting on the ground under a bunch of cedar trees, there's rocks clustered in the foreground and a triangular window between leaning trees looking out onto a sunlit shallow river. At one point a goose slid down the rapids, ran into a rock, hopped up on it disgruntled and trying to look cool like nothing awkward happened as the second goose came down smoothly.

Sitting down and shutting up for a few minutes changes the world.

I just left a big ol puddle o peace in our interbeing today. Take a moment to go get yerself some. All it takes is being present for one moment, one breath. Peace comes in small sips sometimes.

Photo from one of my happy forest hidey holes. The knees and one runner'd toe of my crossed legs in the foreground. Sitting on a black-stoned cliff surrounded by cedar trees. The ground is littered with old brown cedar leaflet thingys.  In the distance is the washed out (light balance fail) treed valley on the other side. But you can't really see it because of qll the branches of the trees surrounding me. Oh, and geese just honked in the distance. I could hear them splash down.

It has been a hell of a day. Have the sky above my father’s house, where I lay in the grass for a while today. #sitTogether

View of the blue sky with clouds, and several tree branches in frame. Some are bare, and some are green with leaves.

Hooo-eeee!
Left some grumpies in the interbeing today.
Don't worry, I cracked an interdimensional window, it should dissipate soon enough.
If you've got some grumpy to dump, may as well do it now while the window is open.
You don't even have to meditate, just take a moment to visualize screaming into the void. @scream can help if yer stuck.

I keep looking for "the thing", the one idea or belief that will make me happy, or give me motivation to keep going, or at least explain why the world is the way it is. And I keep realizing that there is no single thing like that. There is a multitude of ideas, people, experiences, which can, in certain combinations, provide parts of what I'm looking for. But the main thing is to keep looking.

I was able to do some mending this morning for the first time in probably 5yrs.
That's gotta be some kind of metaphor for me stitching my life back together.
Baby steps. 🐢💨
Am gonna go do sitting meditation shortly, if anybody wants to join me. 🧘

Some days it's not about making the best of it, but making something, anything, of it. And some days even that is too much, and it's only about hanging on.

And then some days my heart is full to bursting, and I don't even worry about making or doing or hanging on, because everything is already right there.

I wish you many of the latter, and strength and patience for when you encounter the former.

Photo near ground level of the corner of my blue blanket with a mason jar mostly full of water. The deck boards, rails, and a gap at the stairs opening up to bare branched trees in the distance. Feeling very chill and grounded. Hope sharing the image also shares the vibe.

When a thought enters your mind, where does it come from?
After it leaves your mind, where does it go?

Good morning mah trunkies!
I am moving back into a routine of daily meditation, will be doing a 20min sit as soon as the coffee and slow blinking phase of my morning is complete.
Give me a wave if you'd like to join me and we can sync up.
...or do your meditation whenever you read this toot, because what is time really?

Over breakfast every day, we sit together on the sofa in our conservatory and listen to an audiobook. Today we were treated to jackdaws gathering fibres from our palm for nesting.

Oooo. After the cacophony of grackles all week, this morning there is a single robin just lilting away. It is so gentle and peaceful. What a lovely morning vibe.
Anybody else got a peaceful #sitTogether moment to share?

This was written about grief, but these days it applies to everything (both internal and external). #sitTogether

“We don’t often get to decide who or what shows up at the ‘guest house,’ as Rumi says, but we can cultivate an atmosphere of curiosity and receptivity. Self-compassion gradually becomes one of the basic elements of maturation. We slowly relinquish the harsh program of ridding ourselves of our outcast brothers and sisters for the sake of fitting in; we simply set another place at the table.”
