here's a welcome break from the everyday.
dealing with
things falling apart
by befriending a wild snail.
ZEN in recovery.

only now🙏🏻
here we are facing the dreadful uncertainty.
A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above.
continues 🔽
Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him. Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away at the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!
facing death heightens awareness and appreciation of life's meaning.
Thank You !

you're welcome. i've been working with Pema's method and finding it useful.
this book demonstrates its positive results.
it is dangerous, so best used in moderation.🚸
Think not of the amount to be accomplished, the difficulties to be overcome, or the end to be attained, but
set earnestly at the little task at your elbow, letting that be sufficient for the day.
—SIR WILLIAM OSLER, physician (1849–1919
@holon42 What would likely happen to me, is I'd think "Oh right. I need to get strawberries at the store."
delight in the small
is a refuge.
