My apologies
I would want to apologise here for how little I've been doing with this community. I appreciate so much all your willingness to be here. And I'm working like dog to bring together all the different threads into a coherent understandable offering here. For now though, the weekly quiet time posts and portal to stillness are all thats happening. Soon things will begin to change, and I thank you for your patience.
Anyway. Here are some of my favourite thoughts for the week
"Meditation is by far the best anti-ageing technology in terms of the type of anti-ageing that matters.
Not because it makes you relaxed. But because it peels away all the perceptual filters we added since children that make most adults feel old.
Meditate enough and the world regains all the vivid mystery of childhood.
But this time with the wisdom of age."
— Vacha
Shame is not a problem to be solved.
It's a kid whose hand needs to be held.
— Me
My life began when I stopped trying to force myself back into happiness and started loving whatever was taking me out of it. Anger, walls, numbness, or shutdown. All of it just wanted what I wanted: to be met without conditions.

On emotional work: your protective strategies are allies to be welcomed rather than resistance to be cleared.
— Me again
The desire to be understood by others is often a displaced desire to understand ourselves.
The desire to understand ourselves is often a displaced desire to experience ourselves fully.
— Vacha
It took me decades to really grok this in my bones: If there are aspects of ourselves we cannot own, we project those aspects onto other people. The clearest way to notice this is when we are triggered, judgmental, or annoyed at other people.
— Joe Hudson
Learning how to want sincerely, and just sit in it, and long, and not need to suppress anything in that movement, or gratify it, and just love the sensation, is a gift to yourself.
— Me thrice
Quite time is nearly upon us. Wishing you a blessed Sunday
New to quiet time? Go here first
