Good stuff happens to us.  Bad stuff happens to us.  I can tell the bad stuff to go away but that hasn’t worked out very well.  So what to do?

I woke up this morning scared, and with less sleep than usual.  That’s what’s so.  I don’t feel the need to share the details.

In the last year or so, I’ve enjoyed the distinction between “this” and “that”.  I call what’s happening right now “this”.  What’s not current is “that”.

So this morning I let “this” wash over me.  It included some negative thoughts and experiences.  At one point, I got that I was using my contemplation of “this” as a method to have it float away.  That’s not the spirit of “this”!

And now …

The fear is less.  And it lingers.

The eyes want to close.  I’m pretty tired.
