Supporting
thoughts, sensations, perceptions - phenomena…
breathe, notice, rest in awareness…
open, aware, present… whatever is happening… nothing excluded… here/now…this…
being is enough.
an unconditional ‘yes’ to the fact that experiencing is happening at all.
“that mantra again” a thought begins…
“don’t forget that other ‘thing’ you wanted to remember… that phrase…”
“thats’s some strong decaf!” Ha!
even that is tied to the remembered story of another thought process.
we’ll get to it…
right now, though, at least a few more sips of actually-hot (strong decaf) coffee…
i did get a few sips… didn’t count them...
“this whole thing will be the ‘donation page’!” felt like it was begging to be written and i felt/feel excitement!
Allow me to explain… <sip of coffee> (“almost multitasking” ha!)
While making (by which i mean mixing powdered greens, creatine, and water) vitamins this morning, thoughts were forming relating to this donation/support page idea…
how to tell the truth and be accurate…
i know no better way than this…
The actual thought at that time was something like (and i’m paraphrasing a lot here) “your support matters and is absolutely not necessary;
give if you want to, if you enjoy giving, if it makes you feel good;
Please feel no sense of need or urgency (unless you want to feel…)
<sip of warm strong decaf> (sorry… had to go help Sherri with some hose situation in the garden. anyway... as I was saying…)
… such things.”
I enjoy sharing as intimately as I can through writing, and your support helps substantially in the continuation and evolution of that… (of this…) regardless of amount, frequency, or even type.
even our being here, reading this…
just being here now matters so much…
and I’m so, so grateful to you, for you.
thank you for just being with me…
even if for just this little bit…
((wandered off there…
do i want to add anything about hope?
if i have one, it’s that even your just being here now reading this somehow adds to our sense of felt connection, of sharing;
that we get to somehow both know that we’re here right now…
being together…
that is my hope…
(and maybe also that, should you ever find yourself feeling alone or unloved, that this might help you feel a little less so)
… and that you would know that i love you,
and i am grateful.
thank you.))
<lukewarm coffee just finished>
((may you experience the most extraordinary now…
may you know the miracle that you are…
that any of this is…))
(((not sure about that last part…)))
((((i never explained “that’s some strong decaf”! ha!
much of the above arose while in the kitchen moving through morning routines, including the cowboy-style brewing of some fresh-ground decaf coffee beans, and was only later written down.
while mostly following habit, probably being at times a bit distracted, said morning routines may have moved a little slower than usual, ultimately resulting in said coffee boiling a little longer than usual, subsequently resulting in a slightly thicker-than-usual brew…
in case you were curious… 😊))))
