This is actually a pretty balanced piece (for NPR 😂), try to read the whole thing and feel into what your elephant thinks of certain parts (use it as a kind of meditation on how you emotionally respond, and watch your response carefully for signs of confirmation bias, anger, disgust etc.). It's a great Alt-Middle exercise and a good primer on the thinking pro/con on vaccine boosters. We'll do a show soon!
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!
