Pulling threads
Notes and news from the present moment, on its swift way to becoming past.
Pearls of Wisdom
Working with the reflex to DO rather than BE when faced with suffering, remembering: it is skillful to bear witness, without jumping into distracting action; to listen, without dissociation, or minimizing, or denial; to return to presence when facing pain.
Context and Action

We must hold our remembering, even if forgetting seems like it would be easier.
