Good stuff

I’m at the pub and it’s a playground of pure indulgence, with rules of politeness 

And commonality that feel so good it’s almost unnoticed by me because I’m in such a state of flow and good feeling.

This is my Christmas outting for me. 

I may fear opening up and letting go, adult to adult 

But please know I know I appreciate others I just have so much fear of letting go... I try the best I can ☮️ I am consoled by knowing that. I know we all give what we can, and have off days or off moments but we’re not defined by them. We are whole and multi dimensional. I am self possessed enough to cut myself slack as well as the others I come into contact with here at the monastery and in life.

Have a really good week!!

Seeing folks in their emotional frame of mind is really helping!!

when my fear of opening up is so intense that i start thinking in the third person plural within my lonely isolation, a friendly, spirited pub is medicine for my soul. just soaking up the ambience makes it easier for me to think about things like there is no courage without the needs of fear.

take a risk, marky pooh. at least catch that pretty girl's eye and smile. . .

Hugs Mark. Everyone has fears about opening up to varying degrees. Life has been a maze trailing behind us that doesn’t have any extra space for judgment on mistakes. Here’s to the future and better, wiser tomorrows!!
