Piecing Friends, My book, Comfortable with Uncertainty by Pema Chodron gives me some helpful guidance, to keep me centered. Here are some ideas for me to practice:
The point of spiritual/religious practice is to move from self-centeredness to connection (certainly something I need to work on in my M).
The goal of a spiritual practitioner is to alleviate the suffering of others--compassion, kindness.
We don't go off into the wilderness to find wisdom, but to move into the chaos and difficulties of our lives to practice cultivating compassion.
There is no escape from the difficulties of one's life. It is better to face them than live and die in fear and avoidance.
I hold onto these thoughts, as I enter conflict in my M, and a frustrated W.
