When thereβs a time crunch and I know I should be done by a certain time so that I can squeeze this, this and that into my day or I wonβt get that, this and this done- the most beautifully simple, yet profound thing happens when I get to the top of this hill: all plans go to shit. ~
β’
Itβs as if Mother Nature transforms into βSister Nature,β grabbing my hand so we can run as fast as we can to smoke a cigarette under the bleachers together. ~
β’
I could easily convince the ever-growing and ever-present TO-DO list that my run took an extra hour because I added more miles or a new set of stairs blah, blah, blah... but the sky knows how often I stop to take pictures of her clouds. The trees know I gather their branches and wrap my arms around their trunks, and the dirt trails keep the secret close of the times I sit for private picnics with the sun. ~
β’
Most days the to-do lists win and the time crunch is crunchy, but my kids will tell you how I stare up at the hills while zipping along the highway. I smile like Iβve just been passed a note in class, knowing that it wonβt be long. ~
β’
Thank you, Sister Nature. Youβre pretty bad ass. ~

Last night I dreamed of driving a car which suddenly went out of control. I turned the wheel faster and harder, growing more and more panicked, until my passenger, Robert Rauschenberg, took charge of it via telekinesis. Sometimes it feels like we need to be in control of everything but using force makes things worse. Better to let go of the wheel, relax, and recognize the amazingness of it all ππ½ #robertrauschenberg πΌ | #somar #freshness #wisdom #allow #carljung #dontjustdosomethingstandthere #breathe #metta #blueprints

Outrage, shock, anger serve to protect our vulnerabilities; sadness, fear, worry, helplessness. Before you speak, write, act, take care of yourself and others by breathing deeply and feeling your feelings so you can respond with wisdom and non-hatred. ππ½βπ½π¦ππ²ππ

"All the Buddhadharma is only about helping you, how to understand yourself, how to clarify your mistakes, how to be a better person, and how to go through the difficulties in your life. What you really do, you keep it in your heart, and through your heart, one day you will speak it out. And that is the real way, that is what I really call appreciation, that's what I really call 'love'." ππ½#dilgokhyentserinpoche #meditation #dharma #mindfulness #metta #bodhicitta #threejewels #buddhism #youdonthavetobeabuddhisttobeabuddhist #nyc #wallwatching #dontjustdosomethingstandthere
