If you want a certain thing, you must first be a certain person.
Once you are that certain person,
obtaining that certain thing
will no longer be a concern of yours.

Settling in, digesting the feast
This weekend has turned out to be a pretty good one. I’ve had a fairly mellow time of it, which is nice.
Keeping the busy down… spending time in the back yard, pulling out invasive ground cover that’s choking out my grass… reading and watching some videos… doing some errands… cleaning a bit, here and there… and just thinking about the past week, letting it all sink in.
This is what so often gets lost — the chillness, the mellow, the time to let everything just sink in and become part of your life, part of your experience.
Avoiding experiential indigestion, so to speak.
Because life is a feast, and (proverbially speaking) going swimming right after you’ve eaten your fill, can create needless problems.
Just flow
Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free.
Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing.
This is the ultimate.
– Chuang Tzu
Happy Monday, everyone 😉
After the rain
Raindrops on screens
on the southeast side of the house.
Still hot.
Insects sing from the trees outside.
Inside,
my things are still dry.
