I don't know if you are like me, but I often have trouble sleeping. I'll lie in bed and my mind will just race with thoughts, and then Ill pick one that isn't worthy of my time and just obsess over it. Despite my meditation practice, there is something deeper and more psychological at work here.
A friend recommended the book: The Wise Heart by Jack Kornfield. I have seen Jack talk a few times and have always been left in a sort of trance like awe surrounding his breadth of knowledge, ability to tie in concepts and cleverly quote and antidote situations. His book: After the Ecstasy, the Laundry; was a very poignant account of several encounters that helped fuse my understanding of the human psyche in relationship to the everyday, within the lens of Buddhism.
I'm setting out the goal and intention to write more about this topic in an effort to address questions I may receive here or out in the world to write about.
To look out into the community as a support system, as a gage for change is a tool I wish to utilize. I thank you for bearing witness and for reading.
Namaste K
