… Thoughts that are untrue and if you believe them they can be negative and scary in nature. If you don't feed into the thoughts but just watch them they will go away just like they came. That's ok. That's what thoughts are automatic. It's what the human mind does. Pop 'em out. Watch them and they will dissolve just like they came. If you practice meditating in time the ability to watch thoughts open minded, non-judgmental, non-reactive without believing the thought will filter to all aspect …

"Find your place on the planet. Dig in, and take responsibility from there" - Gary Snyder Don't let the weeds take over our mountain! Not only are they ugly and prickly, but they're also changing our mountain: more weeds = less wildflower + more fires. The vast majority of the mountain is in good shape but the nasties are starting to take hold and move around. Let's stop them before they really get going. Say it with me, pulling broom is fun oh so fun oh so fun, I wanna do this all day long... M …
