12 things i’m grateful for on the 12th of august @ 9:55pm
1) lunch @ city bakery
2) east west books
3) that some of you have told me these lists inspire you
4) a Thich Nhat Hanh gallery i published/produced today and the wonderful book it comes from
5) this rob brezny photo (you can donate to the cause here)
6) when retail therapy actually works
7) young living essential oils
8) the lovely class with ramananda
9) seeing e. @ yoga when i just thought of her vividly today and haven’t seen her for months
10) learning more about shenpa
11) getting that i really don’t want to get it. (i mean, i’m noticing how much i don’t really buy all the stuff i allegedly believe about becoming more conscious and watching my thoughts non-judgmentally. which keeps me from really getting it and practicing it. which in turn keeps me safe-feeling and less present. at a distance from the sweet-n-tangy truth of my deepest self and the world. and people. like if part of me stays disengaged and not believing, i can hide from the real work of becoming a clearer, more loving, less triggerable, more effective, awake human. you know?)
12) cock rock

I get #11… I really, really do. Sometimes I think it’s a defense mechanism, to keep myself going round in the same loops and perhaps somehow “safer”? Anyway, yea, what you said. 🙂 But now that we notice it… the whole illusion just might shatter wide open!
