My experiences, thoughts and their expression: mi vida

As soon as we relax into how they are - as soon as we stop the W ar W ith R eality - happiness and sweetness begin to subtly arise, dusting our insides not with craving and aversion, but with equanimity.

The link for the Welcoming Prayer Method is: Mary Mrozowski ...I am glad that God has been...arranging...? I think we need to have a chat...a loving one, that is...ehem... This theme keeps coming up. More of that coming...
