All of us live with temporary names and temporary stories,
which allow us to breath the air of the present,
while looking into the eyes of enormous powers
that make up our immediate horizon of understanding.
David Whyte, Denial
Temporary stories
a stream of wellbeing
There is not a stream of badness and a stream of goodness,
or sickness or wellness.
There is only a Stream of Well-being.
The question that you’re wanting to ask yourself is,
“In this moment, am I letting it in or not?
Am I allowing it or am I not?”
Abraham/Hicks American motivational speaker.
weather report
What if I were to allow my inner weather to become a Weather Report? Think of it this way: the tides of my life, the ebb and flow of my emotional weather, can tell me how I am at any moment – happy or desperate, discouraged, outraged or quiet. Two hours ago I was tense and anxious. Now I am pensive and relaxed. What will I be next? Everything changes, so if I have a little patience my moods and attitudes will change too.
Aha! A Weather Report! That’s the point! To see, to take stock of my inner weather, just as I would with a glance out my window as I plan my day. Not to judge or complain, not to accuse or deny. Let my inner weather tell me how I am.

A gentle world
Maggie and I are doing our best. Our parents did their best. Everyone is doing their best.
What if we assumed that about each other?
What a gentle world it would be.

Talk to yourself like someone you love

No movement
When the mind is utterly still,
without any movement of desire or comparison, there is joy
– not the joy of achievement, but joy without cause
