Love and Let Go


"...the great need for...loving-kindness toward oneself, and developing from that the awakening of a fearlessly compassionate attitude toward our own pain and that of others."
"...dissolving the dualistic tension between us and them, this and that, good and bad, by inviting what we usually avoid. My teacher, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, described this as 'leaning into the sharp points.'"
"...may we not forget...that 'Chaos should be regarded as extremely good news."
from When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times, Pema Chodron
Yes, yes, yes.

I love the pictures you have on each of your posts.

I popped by again because JIP wanted me to tell her blogfriends that she has posted a longer post to try and explain where she is at. She said she is sorry that she cant visit her blogfriends posts at the moment.
