A warning to new friends | |
April 01st, 2018 | |
---------------------------------------- | |
Take a moment to compose yourself and disconnect from the moment | |
happening around you. | |
Think about your place in the world and let your mind slowly zoom | |
out. Watch that place become a spec and then nothing at all as | |
your inward eye moves toward the infinite. | |
Now, with that distance and sense of impartiality consider for | |
a moment your own actions to the people around you. Think about | |
what you consider good and what leaves a bitter taste in your | |
mouth. Don't linger too long on any one thing, but try not to skip | |
over the shameful parts completely. | |
Everyone you meet today will face that person you just examined. | |
That person: keep the idea separate from yourself for now. | |
If a friend were to encounter that person today, what would you | |
warn them about before the encounter? How would you guide them to | |
a better relationship? | |

This was the meditation I did tonight. I thought some of you might | |
like to try it as well. |
