Let’s walk around outside
and forget it is raining.
Let’s get soaked in all that noise.
Let’s be water all day,
and breathe like low tide when we sleep,
breathe like dew, and grateful faucets.
Let’s be the ice melting at the top of mountains—
that kind of clear.

Honey and then the hammer. Of course I don’t live it. But first stage of recovery is awareness, no, Swami?

That could be a new saying “honey and then the hammer” I deserved that! Happy Friday. Awareness is absolutely the only step.
