@rlschaller, Thanks for posting the short affirmations. They are just right for those of us who are not into hard core meditation but see the value in it.

@rlschaller Have you read The Five Invitations by Frank Ostaseski, founder of the Zen Hospice Center? I found the book really insightful, with powerful stories of Ostaseski's own struggles with grief and anger, as well as his understanding gained from hundreds of people in hospice care. These are the five invitations in a nutshell:

-Don’t Wait

-Welcome Everything, Push Away Nothing

-Bring Your Whole Self to the Experience

-Find a Place of Rest in the Middle of Things

-Cultivate Don’t Know Mind

@maggie15 thanks for the feedback 🙏❤️ I’ll post more of those. I get so excited … lol and have been known to overwhelm with too much … lol part of my journey for sure.

@tougholdcrow I love this ! Thank you so much for sharing the 5 invitations I will get his book. I heard him speak and lead a meditation on Zoom during Covid sponsored by the NYZCCC. I read a little of his work in Awake by the Bedside, which is a lovely collection of chapters on sitting with death and dying . These 5 invitations are beautiful teachings and guide posts for living well. With gratitude- Rhonda
