As its Thanksgiving in Canada, and after meeting many soul nourishing friends and family, consuming delicious food and drinks together, I am pondering this- thanksgiving.
I am grateful for everything, and I mean everything in my life. The comfort, safety, privledge, and all that life has brought to me in between. I want to make this an all-the-time practice. As I type this, my Egocentricity cringes.
I am thinking about compassion, I am grateful for knowing what it means now, and experiencing it first hand from someone, or as I pass it on. I know how hard it is to practice compassion in full authenticity, my ego judgement trips me, and I find myself in between, feeling compassion and judging. Then Ego beats me up, as she jeers at my stupid human-ness.
I want to be kind, all the time. Again Ego, laughs at me. What if I practice being kinder? hmm.. now that’s a thought and my Ego is quiet. This could mean, I am kind then I am not, then I am kinder than before, even if not FULLY kind, whatever that means.
What are you thankful for, compassionate toward and are you being kinder?
