Make The Higher Call

Make The Higher Call

Mmm… so I wrote this back in Sept 2020, and I was inspired by a sutra study session about Isvara Pranidhana, which is said to be a practice of Surrender. Grateful to Paige Elenson for leading that dharma talk then and to Seth Barron for revisiting it this year. Otherwise this poem would not have seen the light of day. I read it in class this week for the first time, and well, I felt something. It pushed to make the higher call, to share this with you.

I Can Be Gentle With Myself

I Can Be Gentle With Myself

A gentle love note to yourself when you are feeling overwhelmed with the todos, the whatnots, the shoildhaves and the oughttos… say it out loud, write out in your journal - or simply just repeat to yourself, in your heart;

I can be gentle with myself

I can be gentle with myself

I can be gentle with myself
