“...two opposing things can be true at the same time...”

Remember, two opposing things can be true at the same. ⁣
⁣
Here’s are some reminders about holding opposites: ⁣
⁣
You can feel worthy of compassion, even when you are making mistakes. ⁣
⁣
You can allow yourself to take a break, even when you have done the bare minimum. ⁣
⁣
You can be confident and certain, even when you are learning and unlearning. ⁣
⁣
You can be capable of growth, even when you are feeling frozen and stuck. ⁣
⁣
And, in an opposite voice: ⁣
⁣
I can feel worthy of compassion, even when I am making mistakes. ⁣
⁣
I can allow myself to take a break, even when I have done the bare minimum. ⁣
⁣
I can be confident and certain, even when I am learning and unlearning. ⁣
⁣
I can be capable of growth, even when I am feeling frozen and stuck. ⁣
⁣

“Go gently today my friends”

.
Dawn hangs waiting on the Eastern horizon, dangling from the dark.
This is a new day, gift-wrapped in gold and waiting to begin.
Anything might happen.
Some moments are anticipated. Some long-planned, some the routine punctuation marks of everyday life.
Yet between those fixed points there are spools of time lying slack and open. Ours to appreciate. Hours to savour.
Choices.
We can be busy. The tasks, the interactions, the news, the weather, our emotions, our aches and pains: anything can distract us from awareness that this day is precious.
Or we can be present. Mindful in the tasks, intentional in our interactions, limiting our consumption of news, savouring the weather, observing our emotions, grateful for our bodies: being here, embracing this precious day.
It is the fact that every day counts us down that makes each one precious. Here is a new day, gift-wrapped in gold and waiting to begin.
Being here is such a gift. Perhaps that's why we call it The Present.
Go gently today, my friends.

A young couple moved into a new house.

The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbour hanging the washing outside.

"That laundry is not very clean; she doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better soap powder.

Her husband looked on, remaining silent.

Every time her neighbour hung her washing out to dry, the young woman made the same comments.

A month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband, "Look, she’s finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?"

The husband replied, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

And so it is with life… What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look.

So don’t be too quick to judge others, especially if your perspective of life is clouded by anger, jealousy, negativity or unfulfilled desires.

"Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are."
