Four Ways To Be Still In Difficult Moments 20:18

7h ago20:18

20:18

When something or someone upsets me, I’m quick to blame. I’m slower to remember to simply sit still, with upset, anger, fear, or sorrow. When I’m upset, sometimes I think I’m the only one who feels like I do, or who’s having the problems I’m having. But that’s never the case: everyone gets upset, frustrated, bummed out, and scared, at some point or…

Learning to Stop Strategizing 20:43

7d ago20:43

20:43

The more I learn about mindfulness, the more I realize I’m not solving for anything. I’m just learning to stop strategizing. The world is beautiful and full of love, and also, torn up by war, overwhelming, uncertain at best. To me the most natural response has been to strategize. How could I possibly get by without a plan? But I’m beginning to see …

Groundlessness/Feet On The Ground 19:25

3d ago19:25

19:25

To me, groundlessness as a wisdom practice is challenging. It’s an invitation to forget every concept, let go of everything I know, and sit in the direct experience of my life. I love the idea. But as a practical matter, how do I make dinner if I live in a non-conceptual reality, let alone how do I walk into a courtroom and present evidence? On the…

Meditation That Unlocks Wisdom 20:03

24d ago20:03

20:03

There’s a way that my habits and patterns block whatever wisdom I have. I think I know where to point, but my fear that the direction isn’t perfect, stops me. I think I know what to say, but perfectionism whispers, “what if that’s not it?” Every so often during meditation, my habits fall away and I can see perfectionism through a loving lens, as ju…

Making Enthusiasm Cool Again 18:27

18d ago18:27

18:27

The trouble with letting my enthusiasm show is that most of the time I’m afraid I won’t look cool. I’ll be outed for being joyful in a world that’s scary and getting worse.

Patience With Ourselves 20:00

1M ago20:00

20:00

I don’t know whether I’m more impatient with the world and the people in it, or with my own impatience. When I’m impatient with the world and my people, the antidote, patience, feels like it softens striving. And more: patience with family, friends, the way things are, has a kind of alchemical quality. When it arises - in me or in anyone - everyone…

Ethics, Ferocity, and Harmony 20:13

2M ago20:13

20:13

One way of thinking about ethics is that we have a cannon, we have rules, and as lawyers, we’re bound to follow those rules. Another way of thinking about ethics is that on some fundamental level, all ethics are about not causing harm. From either perspective the question for me is, how to be a ferocious advocate and not cause harm? Which begs a la…
