[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 672997, member: 17461"] M loves you. He loved you strong, and he is loving you through this. That you are aware of the connection Copa, is how you know you are strong enough now to heal it. You can do it. We are all right here if it is too hard. The commitment to work about which you are passionately curious will get you through it. Or, a determination to: "When chopping onions, just chop onions." It slows time for me when I do that, Copa. Then, I have time to examine. [I]And I choose not to. I choose silence, and attention to the task at hand.[/I] That is the key. Think of the disciplines in every spiritual teaching. Apply that to the task in front of you: BOOM Present. I can't believe you missed this thread, either. I am so glad you are here. :O) Now we have our jet packs on. For me Copa, I understand [I]these feelings are the negative tapes roaring wordlessly away in the backgrounds of our lives. See how cruel they are; see how utterly without mercy. That is the flavor of our upbringing. That is how that little girl (or that little boy) we were was taught his or her worth.[/I] It's heartbreaking, Copa. That is what happens to me, too. We purposely fracture our attention, we purposely prevent concentration, because of those horrific negative tapes, Copa. When chopping onions, just chop onions. No other thinking allowed. Let it go. Continue to chop onions with intent and purpose. This is how we heal, at this level where the pain and brokenness are unfathomable and wordless. You can do it, Copa. I did; I am. When chopping onions, just chop onions. We are not the only ones Copa, or that phrase would never have been written. In a cookbook about sincere understanding and appreciation of life, no less. I love Michael Pollan. Have you read Botany of Desire? All about how plants mate, how they make themselves valuable to us, and just who is the master gardener, here. Us, or...them? Cedar [/QUOTE]
