Thanks, Sam--I spend WAY too much time in my overactive monkey-mind thoughts, so these are great reminders. :)

Thank you for this, I have been feeling like my mind has been in control too much lately and it just leads to unhappiness. Great suggestions for slowing down and being.

I loved this Sam. I see myself now sitting quietly on the shore of the stream. It’s lovely to be still.

Damm Damm the pusher man. Haha. I am honored to be a physical specialist at hearing noise and making noise. 🙏 attempted to "stomp on unconsciousness" symbolically, literally, physically, emotionally, generationally, and so on. Heard it's called breaking chains.

Thar she blows and the right foot is injured, she has equanimity. The body knows what to do. Slow the roll one way or another. Flow or be dragged. Who said that?

Slow the mind, slow the pain body, move the body but don't use the foot. Use yoga, qi gong, pilates, it is already here, and I can 💃 dance on crutches or not. Lessons from the cat is what is here now. Awareness as forgiveness, acceptance, grateful, humble, able to respond not over giving, can ask for help and receive love. Did I say that out loud? It is. Thank you so very much.

You're so welcome - sounds like you have a lot of ways to come out of the mind and into the moment, Margaret - love it! ❤️

1101 pm and a mountain appearing entwined as gold and orange sunset oddball as it is, is within who I am. I am no thing and nothing and not even the moment exist. Eyes are at ease to close and breathe slow. I don't know, what I don't know, and all is appearing as it must. Sense of gratitude and honor for the sacrifices, the willingness, and the courage in the DNA. Symbolically looks like a complete set up for a win win with no thing to lose.

Awareness as infinite beingness. What is apparent is identity theft in the relative and as awareness of beingness.I am both. Be still and know I am God as infinite awareness. Iam that too. I am all of it. Oh boy!
