[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 668630, member: 17461"] In meditation, the essence is as much the space between breaths, as the breaths. It is more, that space between breaths, than the breath. It is the space between them that enables us to see the stars, the space between words that enables speech. Pema Chodron writes about this time, about the pain and confusion and loss of it, Copa. Thich Nhat Hanh, Viktor Frankel; every mystic tradition, Copa, comes from this place.

Given that you are not in the ring, Copa...knowing you would fight with every fiery ounce of courage in you if you were, but...you are not in the ring, Copa. Here is a secret: No one else is, either. That is how this will evolve; that is where you will go, next. Think of Pope Francis, Copa. Think of his body language. Think of the body language of Thich Nhat Hanh. Think of the eyes of The Mary. Pema Chodron will help you now, I think, Copa. She describes this place as: no frame of reference. No way to make sense of things. Nothing to believe in, nowhere to stand, nothing to hold on to. No way to define ourselves because everything that held meaning has somehow shifted and there is only us and everyone else, reflected and reflecting to ourselves and one another...but we are so essentially alone. And yet, surely something can be done. How to know? They say we must learn to listen. That is way harder than we know, to do that. To listen and mean it. To listen, and hear, and not turn away. But here, on FOO Chronicles, we know the utter absolute relief of hearing, and of being heard. We are mothers. We feel every blow; the spilled blood is blood more precious to us than our own. But...we are not in the ring. How to encompass that, and ourselves and our children and our lives? A very hard thing, Copa. Cedar kd lang, Copa. Halleluiah, for you and for me, too.
