moss (2)

I wish I could be like this moss, simply existing on the cracked surface of an old tree. Events would take place, people would come and go, and I would stay, inert, no will or worry or desire or fear.
This has been a very complex week. Each day I have had some kind of difficult situation to deal with, and I feel quite exhausted. Due to my thumb I have not been able to swim, which just makes the stress harder to shrug off. But I must. I must remember detachment. Detachment detachment detachment. But is detachment really possible if I have to convince myself to be detached? Help!
Anyway I don't really have time to pursue these thoughts because there is too much going on with concerts and rehearsals for me to get distracted.

here's what works for me, and has worked for others
radical acceptance.
radical acceptance of any and all thoughts
so acknowledge/accept, acknowledge/accept, acknowledge/accept
"it's difficult to feel detached"
don't judge it! just
acknowledge/accept
"i feel overwhelmed"
don't judge it! just
acknowledge/accept
this process has a way of slowly liberating your mind and bringing you gently towards peace.
when we keep telling ourselves we should not feel what we feel; that keeps us trapped.
if you try this
if it works for you
pass it on.
