Intentional Moments

April 18, 2011

I feel a tad out of sorts this morning.  I feel pressure.  I have a lot I need to accomplish but I can’t seem to find the time to do it.  The bits of time I have are small and fragmented, so I waste them to distraction.  I look back at the weekend with regret [...]

Irritation opens up the possibility for empowerment and acceptance–if we allow it.  By sitting with the irritation and dropping the story line attached to it, new possibilities become available.

Morning Agitation

August 23, 2010

I am agitated this morning.  I didn’t sleep well.  I awoke in the middle of the night worried about Daddy.  Is he getting the care that he needs?  I think he is too weak to be alone, but I can’t be there all day, everyday; neither can my sister.  He is just stubborn enough that [...]

Attachement + Control = Suffering

July 16, 2010

I could’ve kept sleeping this morning.  I’m so tired.  My body aches.  It was difficult going to sleep…again.  I don’t know how to ascend this weariness.  Sometimes I get frightened about being tired.  I get frightened because I have had issues of chronic pain for years, though I am much better.  Sleep is a fundamental [...]
