@rlschaller - Thanks, I really like your "Just happy and aging along …" I can really relate. It's a nice sunny morning here and I only have lunch planned with a friend, so I should have a lot of time today for more "nothing" too. Sending hugs back!

Rhonda, How true. It’s the easiest way I can think of to keep going no matter what.

Hello @rlschaller @threetree @maggie15 @tougholdcrow! I hope you are all doing well and enjoying summer. I was recently gifted with a book of Mark Nepo and thought I'd share my reading from last night.
Breathing is the fundamental unit of risk, the atom of inner courage that leads us to authentic living. With each breath, we practice opening, taking in, and releasing. Literally, the teacher is under our nose.
Dropping all we carry - all our preconceptions, our interior lists of the ways we have failed and the ways we have been wronged, all the secret burdens we work at maintaining - dropping all our regrets and expectations lets our mentality die. Dropping all we have constructed as imperative allows us to be born again into the simplicity of spirit that arises from unencumbered being.
It is often overwhelming to imagine changing our entire way of life. How do we take down a wall that took twenty-five or fifty years to erect? Breath by breath. Little death by little death. Dropping all we carry instant by instant. Trusting that what has done the carrying, if freed, will carry us.
"Practicing", Mark Nepo. The Book of Awakening

I subscribe to this email Nature365 where I receive a one minute nature video. As a city dweller, it’s so healing and peace making. Thought I’d share. It’s just a minute of being with …. Enjoy ❤️ Rhonda

Ah @vajra13 i love the 5 remembrances ❤️ I use the plum village app, and it’s in their key teachings section, and I read it over and over again. I find it uplifting, reassuring and so true. It’s so nice to remember we are human and this is the truth for all living beings. Has nothing to do with cancer. Cancer simply invites us to form an intimate relationship to our humanity. I find it endearing, thank you 😊

@rlschaller - Very nice thought. I sit out on my balcony with tea sometimes, finding it very peaceful and renewing, and this made me think of that. Happy Sunday to you too!

@rlschaller After a pretty wild summer, I have been wondering what to do with myself, and tea with a friend sounds like the perfect antidote.
