Bonus: Leave it by the River: A Tale of Two Monks

from Inner Work With MaryAnn Walker: Helping over givers to stop abandoning themselves and find lasting peace · host MaryAnn Walker

Send us Fan MailToday I share the story of two monks. Both had taken a vow to not touch a woman, yet they found a woman in need of help crossing a river. The older and wiser monk carried her across. The younger younger monk became angry and accusatory towards the senior monk. "We took a vow not to touch a woman!" The older monk replied, "I left her by the river. Why are you still choosing to carry her?"So often we continue to hold onto things, possibly even ruminating on them, thinking this is productive. Today, I encourage you to leave it behind. Let it be. Leave it by the  side of the river. To read the full article, click here. To work work with me, click here. To connect with me on my other platforms, click here.
