Discernment is like shining a light on something; judgment is more like trying to paint it your favorite color. Less judgment, more discernment.

October is gone 🍂
I've enjoyed the bright colors of fall and the pretty sunrises from my kitchen window. I've been vulnerable & cried for two of my friends who left earth this year 🕊️
I have also danced! A lot! 💃

How are you doing dear friends?
Take a mindful breath.
Feel the earth under your feet.
Be where you are.
As you inhale, say to yourself, I am here.
As you exhale, say to yourself, I belong.
You belong, and I am glad you’re here!
(Sunrise from Thich Nhat Hanh’s deck at #plumvillage June ‘24)

"Suffering is to be known" the Buddha said.
When difficult situations arise, be curious about how they manifest in your body. Do you observe a pattern? Does the feeling in the body cause you to become even more reactive?

In stormy times: just sit, breathe, observe. No resistance, no clinging – the storm passes, clarity remains.

The Buddha identified three kinds of suffering.
1. when things don’t go your way
2. life is constantly changing
3. due to causes & conditions

The Miracle is not to walk on water.
The Miracle is to walk on the green Earth,
dwelling deeply in the present moment, feeling truly alive.
