The experience of (just) sitting →
coffeeandyoga:
dhammanovice:
” What is the experience if sitting? Well, a simple , matter-of-fact description might say that as we sit we’re aware of thoughts in mind, the breathe in our belly, and pain in our legs. But we all also carry around a more or less idealized picture of how we want to experience sitting. …..
When we settle down into the experience of our body and our breath, we let...
Things I Don't Have the Guts to Say
Based on how you talk to me now that I’m skinny, you all must have hated me when I was fat.
Drawing Lines
Drawing lines in the sand has more to do with keeping you out than fencing me in. A little soul-searching has found my heart in need of a guardian; a great old wizard putting his staff down and shouting at you, You Who Shall Not Pass, that you. shall. not. pass. Get thee behind me, and take your memories, too.
Deleted years of emails, including the ones where you called me beautiful. Hid your...

i stretch my arm
Today was an up-and-down day. I spent the morning with one of my best friends, hitting an art gallery where I have a piece on display, then enjoying lunch. It’s so crazy - we have had some relational twisty-turns, but because we have a ‘leave nothing on the table’ policy between us, there isn’t anything weird. Ever. Which is almost weird, in and of itself. We talk about...
To Be.
Trying to keep my heart at bay. Only responding, not initiating. Trying to find ways to show interest without coming off overbearing. Or too forward. Or any of those things. Just trying to respond. The heart of a woman was knit to respond to the love of a man. But why is it so hard? I guess the responding isn’t the hard part. When we’re together, when we’re talking or doing,...

“My feelings are not God. God is God. My feelings do not define truth. God’s word defines truth. My feelings are echoes and responses to what my mind perceives. And sometimes - many times - my feelings are out of sync with the truth. When that happens - and it happens every day in some measure - I…

beautiful,
whenever you explain something to me, whenever you tell me a story, whenever you talk non-stop for a minute or two, half of my consciousness just watch how your eyes sparkle, how your lips move, and how your cheeks blush.
and the rest of me just plays it cool.
love, funny the way it is

from Stephan Pastis, cartoonist of Pearls Before Swine:
Went to a bookstore yesterday to sign Pearls books.
I took a stack of books to the counter. The clerks were busy with other customers.
So I did something I’ve never done before. I started signing them without asking.
I didn’t have my ID on me, but I figured if...

yummeh:
Play.
Don’t consume and create at the same time — separate the processes.
Shut out the outside world.
Reflect on your life and work daily.
Look for inspiration all around you, in the smallest places.
Start small.
Just get it out, no matter how crappy that first draft.
Don’t try for perfect. Just get it out there, asap, and get feedback.
Constantly make...

This sentence has seven different meanings, depending on the stressed word:
I didn’t say she stole my money — someone else said it.
I didn’t say she stole my money — I didn’t say it.
I didn’t say she stole my money — I only implied it.
