the last day of february

"While I still get hooked at times

 by self-judgement and negative thoughts, 

I have learned to be grateful for the good moments 

and a bit more graceful during the difficult ones, 

knowing that all things in life come and go."

                                    

 -Elisha Goldstein, 'Uncovering Happiness'

Santa Barbara, 1978

Me, my brothers, and my dad.

wednesday

Let everything happen to you.

Beauty and terror,

Just keep going.

No feeling is final.

-Rainer Maria Rilke

compositions

saturday

I heard a voice that told me I'm essential.

How all my fears are limiting my potential.
Said it's time to step into the light and
use every bit of the power I have inside.

-India Arie

sage words

This is my simple religion.
There is no need for temples;
no need for complicated philosophy.

  Our own brain, our own heart

  is our temple; 

the philosophy is kindness.

-the Dalai Lama

self-worth

My worth 

is not determined by my
 talents, appearance, or external praise;

my worth is determined 

by my heart, my soul,

and the love I give

to others.

meditation

***

Feeling pain in my heart, I breathe in.

Suffering from the pain in my heart, I breathe out.

Feeling my heart breaking, I breathe in.
Feeling as if my heart will break in two, I breathe out.

Feeling the pain is too great to live with, I breathe in.
Feeling as if the pain is going to swallow me up, I breathe out.

Feeling hurt, I breathe in.
Finding hurt where I want love, I breathe out.

Feeling frustration and anger, I breathe in.
Feeling frustration and anger boiling inside, I breathe out.

Wanting things to be different, I breathe in.
Wanting to change him/her, I breathe out.

Wanting attention, I breathe in.
Craving attention, I breathe out.

Wanting gentle touch, I breathe in.
Wanting loving touch, I breathe out.

Feeling I am not good enough, I breathe in.
Seeing nothing good about me, I breath out.

Feeling shame about my body, I breathe in.
Feeling that I am unlovable, I breathe out.

Feeling that no one loves me, I breathe in.
Suffering from not feeling loved, I breathe out.

Feeling frustration, I breathe in.
Feeling fear, I breathe out.

Being afraid that nothing will ever change, I breathe in.
Wanting love in my life, I breathe out.

Feeling fear that I will not have what I want, I breathe in.
Feeling fear and anxiety, I breathe out.

Noticing that I am OK, I breathe in.
Noticing that I am OK, I breathe out.
