Many thanks for leading me in this direction. As a long time follower of your blog, may I say, it seems that you, yourself, have been moving in this direction for quite a while. Looking forward to reading more about your journey in future posts.

A herd of deer live on the mountain and traipse down past my front door every day. Watching them makes me smile. Playing with Lexie my little dog brings me joy even when I feel sad. I have meditated off and on for years but never made it a regular practice. I might do that again and hope it helps me with insomnia.

I know it sounds pretty woo-woo, but what the heck?” Hi DJan, I certainly had to smile when I read that. Well, it may be woo-woo but I do feel the connection today. About two weeks ago, when I asked you for the name, I put Buddhism for Busy People on my Kindle. David Michie is a wonderful writer. I’m enjoying and learning a lot from his book. I’m discovering the wisdom of Buddhism and I especially appreciated what he said about why so many humans are finding this business of awakening, to use your words, woo-woo. I looked in the book to find exactly what he said: “Why does it take so much effort to achieve something as simple as mental clarity and awareness? Quite simply, it goes against all previous conditioning. We’ve lived with a ceaseless tide of internal chatter for so long that it’s only when we take the unusual step of focusing the spotlight of our attention on the mind itself, observing its antics at close quarters and in real time, that we discover we have a lunatic in the attic.” I’m getting that lunatic under control and I say thank you for leading me in this direction. You may have received this message via meditation, but if not, here it is in print. :-) Thank you DJan!John's Islandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03618219887687125402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-23640037673562914072021-09-26T17:27:17.824-07:002021-09-26T17:27:17.824-07:00I loved hearing about your meditation practice.

I've always found that so intriguing, how Nature "looks after" so much of the living and gives them a fighting chance. Anyway.. I very much liked that quote by the Dalai Lama about not needing an ornate temple or complicated philosophy to practice his beliefs. If only more of us felt the same.ApacheDughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05520433539816634566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-197597102880101691.post-8560411723556792782021-09-26T13:59:08.122-07:002021-09-26T13:59:08.122-07:00Woo woo now that is a word you usually don't u...Woo woo now that is a word you usually don't use!
