Ah Leena - so much in today's musings. Not least being brought back to a couple of Summers ago when I was in Paxos and bought the mobile you write so beautifully about. I love the metaphor of it, the dance that it points to - the dance of equanimity (currently a favorite word) against the gentle tug of the ego that' will colonize the cushion if we let it.'
This is so beautiful and a gift as I feel both the sadness, love and gratitude for the marriage I had. Glenn died just a year ago. I’m being tumbled and also feel such peace. Thank you, Leena!
This: “… our peace is also real, and it is not a betrayal of the suffering to protect it.” I wonder why this concept requires so much chewing on… as if I might be judged for it. Thanks for calling it out.
