Beyond all that Fuss. {Pema Chödrön}

 

“Sometimes we’re going to find ourselves completely caught up in a drama. We’re going to be just as angry as if someone had just walked into the room and slapped us in the face. Then it might occur to us: ‘Wait a minute–what’s going on here?’ We look into it and are able to see that, out of nowhere, we feel that we have lost something or been insulted. Where this thought came from we don’t know, but here we are, hooked again…Right then, we can feel that energy, and give ourselves a break.

Beyond all that fuss and bother is a big sky. Right there in the middle of the tempest, we can drop it and relax.”
