Such profound guidance. As Lao Tzu wrote: Do you have the patience to wait till your mud settles and the water is clear? Can you remain unmoving till the right action arises by itself?”. I am personally going through a period of pausing as I face a closed door and the new direction it is pointing me to. I have found regular meditation to be helpful in being with the uncertainty, the discomfort and the lack of clarity at this point in my life. To just be. I am learning to listen to my heart instead of being reactive, going into a panic. Meditation has really helped!!!!

Letting go of the Selves- the mystery that bookends life. The before birth and the after death. It is indeed a mystery

Sometimes holding the space comes spontaneously. But there are times when it is a conscious effort to be compassionate . I physically and mentally stop whatever I am doing and thinking. Sometimes I imagine taking off a heavy coat and hat, and dropping bags I am carrying, to put myself in that space. I make a mental commitment to be completely ‘there’ with the person and to put my self aside for a while. . It may be 2 minutes or 15 minutes.
