"To live in this world, you must be able to do three things; To love what is mortal, to hold it against your bones knowing your life depends upon it, and when the time comes to let it go, to let it go." -Mary Oliver



I had the most wonderful opportunity to meet with some very beautiful beings yesterday. As luck would have it, I found the Desert Meditation Group in Palm Desert through the website meetup.com. Getting to know new people, sharing experiences and simply sitting quietly in a state of being... ahhhhh, you couldn't possibly put a price on that stuff. Namaste my new friends!

So here's a link to a Google TechTalks video featuring the Venerable Robina Courtin. Don't let the robes fool you. There's nothing mystical or new-wave spiritual about Robina. Her language and style is very current  as she offers insight into applying mindfulness practice to our work-a-day worlds.

And I realize it's an hour long (her talk begins at 1:47 of the clip) and I know, we are all very busy... but it could be a cheap way to avoid hours visiting a psychiatrist. I'm sure the psychoanalytic community doesn't want you to do it yourself... but if those professionals could learn how... hmmm, then why not me? Or maybe there are approaches to happiness other than the western way? Who knows? Not me!


Make today your masterpiece,
Carl
