Thanks for sharing such beautiful observations and reflections, dear Beca. I've been thinking recently that we're not our self, person, being, or life-span--this is the core of the "Diamond Sutra," which brings us to a greater experience of awareness. The Thich Nhat Hanh book is quite good for covering this. I was recently meditating with a friend in Crestone, Colorado at a Stupa, when my friend pointed out that a chipmunk had joined us in meditation on the adjacent bench. We indeed are all connected!
And I am delighted that you and I are connected. I love what you write and talk about, and I am happy this is a place we can share with each other more. Thank you!
It’s an interesting relationship- the one we have with our bodies. Like any relationship it needs to be nurtured and appreciated rather than judged and neglected. Thank you for sharing your perspectives and wisdom- they give me lots to contemplate. 🤔
