Short Morning Practice

Join us for this short teaching and sitting practice.  Today we continue the exploration of a quote from Abraham Heschel, “Self-respect is the fruit of discipline. A sense of dignity grows with an ability to say no to oneself.” In particular, we look at how “bite-sizing” the moment helps open a workable choice point for growing this fruit. Also from Rumi (translated by Coleman Barks): We are the mirror as well as the face in it. We are tasting the taste this minute of eternity. We are pain and what cures pain, both. We are the sweet cold water and the jar that pours.
