Mini Mindfulness Break for January 25, 2020

So lonely
I leave the hut
And gaze out–
The leaves of rice plants
Bending in autumn wind.

– Ryōkan

Mini Mindfulness Break for January 12, 2020

Love’s constancy

Anyone who has waded
Through Love’s turbulent waters,
Now feeling hunger and now satiety,
Is untouched by the season
Of withering or blooming,
For in the deepest
And most dangerous waters,
On the highest peaks,
Love is always the same.

– Hadewijch or Antwerp, trans. Oliver Davies

“We have what we seek.
We don’t have to rush after it.
It was there all the time,
and if we give it time it will make itself known to us.”

Letting Go and Reaching Out

If we’re able to catch an angry thought as it’s budding, we can let it go. The same is true of despair or hopelessness. And when letting go is too difficult, a good medicine for dealing with these emotions is to reach out and help others, healing them and ourselves.

Lasting Happiness

First we have to let go of fixation on material things. This does not necessarily mean jettisoning all our material possessions, but it implies that we should not look to material things for lasting happiness.

“What did the Dalai Lama say to the hot dog vendor? ‘Make me one with everything.’
It’s a joke—and a pretty good one—but there’s more to it than that. Becoming one with everything by seeing through separateness and rigidity is the heart of what I call inter-meditation. Inter-meditation means meditating with—the practice and art of intimacy and union with whatever is, just as it is. It is the yoga of convergence, connection, co-meditation, and spontaneous oneness. It’s a path we can take to overcome all our illusions of duality.”
