Contemplative Monday
"Rather than going after our walls and barriers with a sledgehammer, we pay attention to them.
"With gentleness and honesty, we move closer to those walls.
"We touch them and smell them and get to know them well.
"We begin a process of acknowledging our aversions and our cravings.
"We become familiar with the strategies and beliefs we use to build the walls:
"What are the stories I tell myself?
"What repels me and what attracts me?
"We start to get curious about what's going on."
