We do things one after the other.
That is all.

From the body’s viewpoint, safety and danger are neither situational nor based on cognitive feelings.
Rather, they are physical, visceral sensations. The body either has a sense of safety or it doesn’t.
If it doesn’t, it will do almost anything to establish or recover that sense of safety.
Resmaa Manakem, My Grandmother’s Hands
Beauty is often overlooked precisely because it is is present in the ordinary. It is not about adding knowledge, but about seeing what already is.
Because it is so clear,
it is hard to see.

For today: gather yourself in the heart instead of scattering yourself among your problems.

the body’s energies work together harmoniously,
and the body remains free from suffering.
