We could meet

The way to dissolve our resistance to life is to meet it face to face.

When we feel resentment that the room is too hot, we could meet the heat and feel its fieriness and heaviness.
When we feel resentment that the room is too cold, we could meet the cold and feel its iciness and bite.
When we want to complain about the rain, we could feel its wetness instead
When we worry because the wind is shaking the windows, we could meet the wind and hear the sound.


Cutting our expectations for a cure is a gift we can give ourselves.

There is no cure for hot and cold. They will go on for ever.
