I learned this while making the first leg of a 1000 mile pilgrimage. I would listen to my mini-disk player as I walked, choosing the music to complement the scenery. After several weeks, I discovered that that music was actually making me anxious because rather than being in the moment, I was anticipating the next song and where I would be when it came on. The rest of the long journey was made with only the music around me.

Well said. Sometimes I feel like the imperfections are what make it life. If everything was perfect, life would get old pretty fast, I imagine. The downs allow for the ups, and vice versa.

This is beautiful, Michael _/|\_ I feel the same way about this and also when people are walking and reading or texting. If you stop and take a look around there are so many beautiful sights you are missing. I don’t know how many times I’ve been on the bus on the way to work and I’m the only person who sees the beautiful deer grazing on the hillside near my house. Or they miss the beautiful sight of snow falling between the buildings as we walk downtown to our jobs. Thank you for this post.

Can’t believe it’s been 2 months already. This is such a simple and important point you bring up. I’ve been finding myself focusing too much on viewing things as “negative” and letting it color everything in my day as opposed to working on acceptance and just staying present for it. When I do so much of the suffering falls away and I am always surprised by the beauty and joy I was missing in moment after moment because I was spinning my “everything sucks” story to myself! Thanks for this, and I am glad I got to know you! How has the recovery been and what do the doctors say now, btw?

I’ve been seriously ill for several years now. I’ve learned that surrendering means, in part, being okay with being shitty and miserable because that is, too, part of the human experience when the body is unwell…and being okay with it sure as hell does not mean feeling good…it’s a very rough ride sometimes…this being human. There is a lot of pressure to feel good all the time…it’s not always possible.

best to you. xo
