Relax as it is

We can stop struggling with what occurs and see its true face without calling it the enemy. It helps us to remember that our spiritual practice is not about accomplishing anything – not about winning or losing – but about ceasing to struggle and relaxing as it is. That is what we are doing when we sit down to meditate. That attitude spreads into the rest of our lives.

Yesterday was pretty good. Fellowship, brainstorming, laughter and transformation. I loved it. Also new things, and watching the people I brought together connect with each other in powerful and positive ways. It was very good!

Dear gods, I have huge freakin' swathes of my brain back; bits I haven't seen in at least a year. I'm being so über-efficient I feel like an ENFP studying to be an INTJ.
