What years of #meditation have done for me? I can engage in the world fully, without reactivity. I choose what I want to think and feel, with the only intention being to bring more #awareness and #wellbeing to those who have lost them. Sometimes it's me who lost them 😍 No worries, easily found 🌞
This is true for me. My attention doesn't have to be stuck on the chaos some bring.
I stay aware of our unity with each other, with everything. Therefore, I stay in peace, love, creativity, and can act from there.
Let's stop feeding their pathology with attention. Let's walk, listen, love more.

“When I walk there is no tomorrow. Yesterday is gone . . . there is only here, now. I listen to the forest speak, the mountains, the water. I hear their voices. Trees become family. Rocks become living beings that you know, and you’re happy to see.” ~ Clara Hughes

Just a windowpane between us, no more than a convention, confirming that both of us are safe to explore. What happens when we look deeply into each other?
What is there in you that is not also in me?

typing in all lower case (including manually undoing autocorrect capitalization, but occasionally capitalizing Certain Terms for Emphasis) while using commas where you should have dashes or semicolons and nothing where you should have commas, that's typing with a cohost accent

More of this! We're finally used to dads walking with strollers, but children at one's workplace should be natural too. There are practical and legislative ways to make it work as soon as it's considered normal.
Child at the podium: “A woo woo woo.”
Mamdani: That’s how I felt when we came up with this plan. Together, we will expand the idea of what is possible in our city—and what sounds and noises we can make at a press conference.

Listening to Bruce, it's hard to hold back emotions. But I know that you, we - have the power to move from aberration to sanity.
From #Sweden, and from everyone in #Europe, stay strong and sane, dear friends in the #US ❤️

We all want a better world. Do you know that the world is created right now in --your--consciousness, and that you are that consciousness, free to create it much more brightly?

How Ancient Greek Statues Really Looked: Research Reveals Their Bold, Bright Colors and Patterns
This question, one often hears, ranks among the darndest things said by kids, or at least kids who have learned a little about history, but not the history of photography.

When it comes to #tech decisions, one of the best things I've done this year was moving away from Google and Chrome. Have you discovered Vivaldi yet?

Fascinating to compare different spiritual traditions and see how they express the same deep truths we all find within. In this case, Vedanta and the Kabbalah, in harmony.

#Sunriseinsight 9/28:
Desire is stronger.
When the desire to do good arises, ego fear will do its best to fog my thoughts & feelings, and stop me from acting.
Focus on the light. Golden opportunities for good will sparkle everywhere & nothing will stop action into manifestation.

#Sunriseinsight 9/27:
Pausing for connection.
I pause to reconnect to fullness, knowing, certainty, desire, purpose. I pause so I can return to being infinite and complete. I pause to appreciate existence and experience. I pause to deepen the love, and to spread the smile.

Sunrise Insight 9/11:
I do not fall into the trap of ego.
It will shout that this moment is wrong, that I'm broken, you're to blame, it's impossible. It will weave a net of arguments for why the light is not here.
But the sun is always here, and it is rising now.

Sunrise insight 9/10:
There is enough good for all of us.
We strive for more from dawn to dusk, all our life. It's natural to stretch towards the sun, that's how we grow.
Have confidence: the source of light is endless. Shake off the dew, open up wide to receive.

Sunrise Insight 9/9:
When I don't have clarity, I trust more.
Fog might be veiling the wisdom, hiding my true intention and purpose. But the fog is always my friend.
It helps me trust more and deeper, beyond logic, and into the heart.

I align with the rising sun.
Even if I know that rising and setting, growing and shrinking, succeeding and failing- are relative movements in the universe, even as I love it all, I still choose to rise.

Sunrise Insight 9/6:
On my morning walk, our eyes met in a space of fulfillment. Nothing was lacking.
The neediness stopped, time stopped, there was only this, and it was love.
Today, instead of chasing, I stay in the completeness we recognized together. Grateful 🙏🏼
