My new friend Simon Brown sent me this video this morning and said "listen again and watch through the lens of awakening." So I did. With subtitles turned on.
When this video came out in 1998 I was a 4th year medical student. I didn't get it at all, why is this hippie Canadian girl naked and thanking dumb stuff? Why is she letting strangers touch her in that state?
Now? Well, just watch ❤️
I came home from work the other afternoon to find this precious trio (with mom) standing to the right of my driveway. They were so tiny! So cute!
In the middle of the night when your past misdeeds come back to berate you, you should do two things:
1. Honor the lessons and realize that it is because you're a better person now and be thankful of that!
2. See that persons who do harms against you and others are harming themselves more. Others are as yourself in the need compassion. Just as you needed compassion when you were in dark times, everyone needs compassion.
We are all a moment. We are not :that" moment, or a "future" moment. We are "this" moment!
