Oh, how I love this! It makes me what to see if I can still put my foot behind my head. I’m still flexible, but I not sure if I’m that flexible! 😊
My my messiness is more on the inside than the outside. Perhaps I look put together to other people most of the time, but inside I’m often wondering to myself what I’m doing. I suppose we all do sometimes. I remind myself to simply relax into that messiness in my head and eventually it subsides. I suppose were all a little messy sometimes. It’s part of being human.I do think I’ve become a bit more enlightened, but even more so less “afraid of the dark”. The two seem to go hand in hand. It’s a beautiful thing; something that has brought much peace and self-acceptance into my life.
I have been alone most of my adult life. I am so used to the loneliness that I don’t even notice it’s there anymore. Well, not most of the time. When I am aware of it, it’s there with force, a sharp, searing pain. I just try to sit with it, be aware, and see what that feeling is trying to tell me. Easier said than done sometimes. 😉
I came across the trailer for the film Walk with Me. It looks intriguing. It’s narrated by Benedict Cumberbatch, and I love his voice so much I’d listen to him reading me the phone book!
Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese monk Martin Luther King Jr. nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, is one of the most popular Zen Buddhist teachers of all time, and is widely acknowledged for introducing mindfulness to the western world.
Also, a human rights activist, poet and successful author, his books have sold in their millions worldwide, and for the last fifty years his own practice of mindfulness has touched the hearts and minds of people looking for a lifestyle that’s free from anxiety and stress. Two years ago, for the very first time, Thich Nhat Hanh’s monastics invited filmmakers Max Pugh and Marc J. Francis into their monasteries to witness their practice and the essence of their mindful living.
