Let go of the battle.
Breathe quietly and let it be.
Let your body relax and your heart soften.
Open to whatever you experience without fighting.
~ Jack Kornfield, from A Path with Heart
Stop trying to heal yourself, fix yourself, even awaken yourself. Let go of letting go. Stop trying to fast-forward the movie of your life, chasing futures that never seem to arrive. Instead, bow deeply to yourself as you actually are. Your pain, your sorrow, your doubts, your deepest longing, your fearful thoughts ….. They are asking to be held. Here, now, lightly, in the loving arms of present awareness.
~ Jeff Foster, British Writer & Speaker

Thankyou for your kind words Mike. My stroke was an extensive brain bleed so while I had improvements initially total recovery is unlikely. While I struggle with some things, there have also been gifts. We humans all have our struggles/challenges so I know I’m not alone. Go well Mike …

Exactly so. Contrary to Ego’s opinion, I never won a war with myself. Thank you for this.
