Discernment is a process of letting go what we are not

The way changes as we walk it
Even in a country you know by heart
it’s hard to go the same way twice
The life of the going changes.
The chances change and make a new way
Any tree or stone or bird
can be the bud of a new direction. The
natural correction is to make intent
of accident.
To get back before dark
is the art of going.

More stories
Mindfulness helps us get better at seeing the difference between what’s happening and the stories we tell ourselves about what’s happening,
stories that get in the way of direct experience.
Often such stories treat a fleeting state of mind as if it were our entire and permanent self.

Sunday Quote: The process, not the result
We think that accomplishing things will complete us,
when it is experiencing life that will.

Sunday Quote: Change
To be interested in the changing seasons
is a happier state of mind than to be hopelessly in love with spring.

Four Rules For Life
Show up.
Pay attention.
Tell the truth.
Don’t be attached to the results.
