Been feelin’ a bit…
hesitant and inward recently
…and today, got a sense
that i don’t need to be more
inward that i usually am
because i can seed my universe with the intentions
to craft the reality that i seek…
for tomorrow’s meeting
for the meetings that will follow
for the naropa application that will be sent out (before january 2009 hopefully)
for the return of a friend and the reconnection
for the closing of the ONE year
and the beginning of the new…
the feeling of sangha and beginning anew
some semblance of clarity arose within me
maybe the TWO year will be about sangha building
on various levels (at school/work, at the practice center, within myself and the sangha/beneficial elements that support me)
seeding my reality with intentions to encounter mySelf
during the upcoming mitote
seeding my reality with intentions to hear and feel and know clearly
the way to go, the way to complete this year, the way to continue on with my teaching work…
if the intention is wholesome, it is all good to “desire”…
ALL OF THIS
and the praktis of no coming and no going too
the praktis of being all good to receive the completeness of my daily moments
feeling them, living and being with them completely
everything is already here
everything i need, i already have
seeing the fullness and abundance that exists
knowing – recognizing the training that is this moment
do i see my praktis?
do i notice and have awareness about what i am praktising with at this point?
i seed my reality…
to live and teach and relate with ease
to all the moments that constitute
this ONE year completion
gentle gentle gentle birth
yes to that
seeding my reality for a gentle
complete and authentic transition
as a student again for the contemplative education program at naropa
seeding my reality to earn grants and scholarships which will assist
in fully funding my pursuit of contemplative education training
seeding my reality to use this training to offer these techniques and ways of being with other educators and settings for the benefit of young people growing up now and in the future
seeding my reality to connect with others of like mind (isanghamahal) to support one another’s work, to gather, organize and create the world and the change we wish to see!
seeding my reality to live healthfully and joyfully inside my body
seeding my reality to live with a calm mind
seeding my reality to praktis complete acceptance and presence
seeding my reality to encounter new ways i relate to the Dharma
seeding my reality to release ways of being, vows and energies that no longer serve my deepest truth and being
seeding my reality to courageously, happily and graciously embody the ONE i took birth for
seeding my reality to know how to support my students towards returning to their breaths and bodies
seeding my reality to work harmoniously, powerfully and creatively with my colleagues
seeding my reality to craft projects with students to encounter the deep, rich basis of their lives through food + culture + identity
seeding my reality to experience the subtle joys of the fall season
seeding my reality to be full of health and wellness as the seasons transition
seeding my reality…
