Liz7, I have been thinking about what you said about time, patience, life-time journey, etc. It is helpful to be reminded of that reality, because my mind wants to jump to quick fixes, or just give up! That is my hardest challenge--to stop thinking that there is some quick fix, and I just haven't figured it out yet.
CL,I have ordered the book "Radical Acceptance" by Tara Brach--it comes very highly recommended. And, bless him, my H told me a week ago that he sees that as his "personal liberation theology!" So, I am hopeful, but trying not to get too carried away, to wait and see...
I will definitely check out the Sylvia Boorstein book you recommended. It's funny, but I was just looking at a summer workshop at the Omega Institute, where she is one of the leaders.
The sun is out here, now, and it is a luminous day, with a steady, gentle breeze.
