Mindfulness Is A Pause - The Space

Stopping The Endless Pursuit Of Getting Somewhere Else Is The Perhaps Most Beautiful Offering We Can Make To Our Spirit.

Fear Of Being A Flawed Person Lay At The Root Of My Trance, And I Had Sacrificed Many Moments Over The Years In Trying To Prove My Worth. Like The Tiger Mohini, I Inhabited A Self-made Prison That Stopped Me From Living Fully.

I Registered The Dukkha Of Self-aversion With Such Clarity That I Knew There Was No Freedom Unless I Could Love This Life Without Holding Back. This Didn't Mean I Was Going To Ignore My Flaws And Stop Seeking To Improve What I Could. But In The Deepest Way, I Was Not Going To Fixate On The Conclusion That Something Was Wrong With Me.
