miracles happen and shit happens.

I'm going to be chewing on this one for some time.  

Kind of like a cow's digestive system.  

Four stomachs!

According to Judith Lasater: svadhyaya as "more than just mental clarity. It is the deep acknowledgment of the oneness of Self with all that is. In other words, to practice svadhyaya is to begin to dissolve the illusion of separateness we feel from ourselves, those around us, and our world. To practice svadhyaya is to find God in the person standing in front of us at this very moment."

Miracles Happen and Shit Happens.

I have consciously adjusted my life because of the life events this year. I can't fully say why it takes a series of crisis events to begin to live more fully, and I have.   I have slowed down a bit more. Hold my loved ones closer and longer. Turn off my phone and really be with the person I am with. Smile more. Give more -I saw a man asking for money with a sign that he had colon cancer and no money. I walked right by-- a block later I turned around, walked back and gave the man some money. I drive slower and let more people in on the freeway. I find myself more willing to let someone have the arm room on a crowded airplane. Hang with a friend having altitude sickness rather than bagging another mountain summit, and be thankful and feel better for the time with this friend. People I have perceived as competitors have become significant friends.

A part of the gift I have received is that I am less worried about my fears of future events, how much I will have and why someone said what they did. I am living now and my life is more full than ever.

I do believe we are not dealt more than we are able to handle.

We have the capacity to hold a space for it all.
