Notes:
- Inspired by Frank Ostaseski in his book titled The Five Invitations where he shares five habits of mind, orientations of spirit — through which an untruculent acceptance of death can become a love-expanding, life-expanding force: (1) Don’t wait. (2) Welcome everything, push away nothing. (3) Bring your whole self to the experience. (4) Find a place of rest in the middle of things. (5) Cultivate don’t know mind. In the remainder of The Five Invitations, Ostaseski delves deeper into each of these precepts to distill its vital lifeblood into insights and practices with which to enrich and ennoble our diurnal existence.

Um…I think a shower for me…no sense having my head go where my feet have never been first…
Ha! Funny. So my wisdom so early.
and i’m all about the bath, but i like to ease in, not so much swan dive
I think you are up to it!
Coming soon to a bathtub near you – one broken neck.
You didn’t learn how to do a shallow dive when you were younger?
I tried once. Did a somersault in the shallow end of the pool and nearly knocked myself out.
Wow. I can see why you reacted like you did. Not something one forgets.
It was memorable for the pain but also the embarrassment.
Amazing photo! Haven’t quite entered a bath this way yet ha 😀
Come on Karen. It’s you always telling me: “Just let go DK. Just let go.”
You’re right! Let’s do this … 😂😂😂
That’s better. Here’s another prod:
Ostaseski outlines the five central “invitations” — habits of mind, orientations of spirit — through which an untruculent acceptance of death can become a love-expanding, life-expanding force:
1. Don’t wait.
2. Welcome everything, push away nothing.
3. Bring your whole self to the experience.
4. Find a place of rest in the middle of things.
5. Cultivate don’t know mind.
In the remainder of The Five Invitations, Ostaseski delves deeper into each of these precepts to distill its vital lifeblood into insights and practices with which to enrich and ennoble our diurnal existence.

That’s the secret to life right there 👏👍 and diving into the bath 😀
Now we’re talking….
Don’t get me started … 😂
I feel a post coming Karen. I’m waiting.
‘Enter the new week boldly or not at all,’ that’s what I always say!
Yes. You and Ostaseski.

Going there now….
… If only life could be photoshopped sometimes.
I do love Ostaseski’s 5 invitations 💛
These invitations come to life in the context of death. Its looks like an interesting book!
I’m all for the context of Life. The other, not so much. 🙂
Laughing. Yes. And Yes.
Should have had my coffee first!
That photo sequence…brilliant.
Isn’t it though…had trouble finding his website. And some photo comments claim that he was “fake” and someone made him up. Who knows these days?!?
???
Right. I don’t know either.
Interesting choice of images and text, Monsieur! I’m all for the diving into life… not so much into the bathtub – and yes, I can shallow dive but … not into a bath!
Oh come on Dale.
Wellll….
Such a great photo, DK.
BTW….is anyone talking with you about ipad glitching? For some reason, I cannot “like” or enter a comment. The last one I tried (yesterday) came out as Annonymous. Only on my ipad, not my desktop. Hmmm….
Interesting. Have heard some say that they have stop received post notifications via email but have not heard about “Like” issues….let me escalate to WordPress…thanks for the heads up.
The wake-up call ends as soon as she hits bottom.
