Happy with My Path: Grit for the Pearl

When I turned over a Soul Collage card with a chubby hedgehog shuffling off into a kaleidoscope of color, I was baffled.  Soul Collage cards mean different things at different times and are simply another way of bringing into awareness thoughts or feelings that may otherwise remain hidden.  They are a…

A Year of Mystery: Recovering from a Life-Altering Accident

December 5th is the one year anniversary of a car accident that altered my body and changed my relationship to everyone and everything around me. I left the 2010 Integrated Intensive a day early, on Sunday, to drive north on Highway 281 to my Aunt Lucille’s home in Burkburnett, Texas. My brother, Karl, chose our mother’s birthday for a reunion with relatives he hadn’t seen in twenty years. He lives in Bellingham, Washington, and commutes to Oman for work, so he had chosen the date…

Impermanence

I'm writing poems about the feelings I'm having around losing my lifestyle as a result of having my feet partially amputated.

I hope it is not too maudlin for this site.  I shared this (unedited) poem because it is Zen-ish.

IMPERMANENCE

Nothing is solid, they say

Even atoms, when examined closely

Are empty.

Form & energy interact,…

Gratitude

I am gazing out a window this morning, enjoying rain fall on Pennsylvania hillsides near Seven Valleys, and reflecting on recent Appamada posts. I am grateful for Robin's blog posts, Flint's and Peg's articles, each one so alive, so relevant to my life as it is this morning, and each with the ability to "refresh" my practice and connection with the sangha while I am geographically distant. I am thankful for this community, this practice, these learnings, which are an unexpected gift in my life… Continue

Meditation & Sangha

Meditation is usually not "hard" for me. I don't have a lot of aches and pains, I settle into sitting quickly, and enjoy the daily experiment with myself and my intentions, even when I'm having challenging feelings and thoughts. However, after my BAHA procedure (bone anchored hearing aid) on Monday, I felt nausead after anesthesia and continuing queasiness due to the antibiotics. It has been hard to settle back into my morning sitting and I've made a lot of false starts, felt unsettled,… Continue

dear lisa, I hope your recovery is coming along well.

Will you be at Flint's class this Thursday? I look forward to seeing you there or maybe wherever you are now.

Best.

Dear Lisa, We have not gotten together yet but I look forward to spending time with you.  I am glad your surgery will be a repair and not so invasive.

I talked to Peg recently about my efforts to start IFS with a friend without a leader. She agreed that is very difficult for unskilled people and said she would be willing to work with us if we can wait till she is available sometime in April.  Are you still interested?

Get back to me. Blessings, Joan Mueller

Dear Lisa,

I am sorry you may have to have such radical surgery.  I have been amazed by your courage.  I think your rich circle of friends helps sustain you. I am about to be released from the mad world of changing residences and hope we can try again for lunch in the near future. And I want you to know that I am watching out for you and will help if you need me.

Best,

Joan Mueller

Dear Lisa, I guess this is the best way to contact you.  YOu are interested in sharing about Jay Earley's book.  You can all me at 356 9339 or give me your phone number.  One other person, Jo Jensen is interested also.

Hi Lisa

I am glad you enjoyed them.  Hope you are feeling better.  I have missed you...p

I guess I should have commented back in this way. I feel like a social media newbie but It won't be long.

Nice chatting with you tonight Lisa. Also nice to associate you with these pictures I have enjoyed looking at a few times. See you later. William

Oh, Lisa! Lovely contributions to this exchange! Thanks so much for the inspiration.

Hi Lisa,
I typed a comment on your wall but it vanished. Life and texting is impermanent. I love your soul collage! They offer it at my church. I think I should try it. I noticed that Joan Denson is a "friend". She is my "gardener" at church. I didn't know you knew each other.
Looking forward to seeing you at inquiry again (but not this Tuesday).
Joan

Hi, Lisa. Thanks for the comment -- a friend of mine took this on the back of a train going across southern alaska to Denali. It's a nice memory. Nice to see you yesterday. Take care,
Maureen

Appamada is not just the occasional mindful thought or attentive state of mind, it’s actually a commitment to being attentive. It’s more than just a meditative state of mind, it’s more than just being mindful. It has to do with that primary ethical or moral orientation we have in life, with which we bring into being whatever activity we’re engaged in. Whether in formal meditation, in our interactions with other people, in our social concerns, or in our political choices, it’s the energetic cherishing of what we regard as good.

—Stephen Batchelor
