I'm going to have coffee this afternoon with my friend Soo. I like to check in with her every so often to get the Buddhist perspective. Does a new year mean anything to those who focus on "the big picture?" Does "t'was ever thus" prevail?
Soo likes to go to retreats. Silent meditation. Buddhist teaching. I like this idea of "quieting the mind." It is one of those goals that is always beyond my reach. I think my quest is a lazy one. I admit I'm probably satisfied with my noisy mind.
Phyllis gave me a little Buddha a few years ago when I had a heart attack. It is on the shelf above my desk. Whenever I dust there, I like to hold it for a second or two.
I'm sure Soo would understand.
Your non quiet mind is a sign of how engaged you are in so many areas. I do try to take several mini-mind breaks a day by doing some deep breathing 😊Camille
