The resonance of the OM sound when you chant it creates a physical vibration in the body that is genuinely calming to the nervous system. It's not mystical — it's physiological. No wonder golden retrievers like to chant.... 😉

This week four astronauts flew around the far side of the moon. Further from Earth than any human has been in fifty years.
From up there, our planet looks tiny. Fragile. Beautiful.
And I thought about my friend Debi. Paragliding last summer. A fraction of that height. A fraction of that distance.
She said the world looked so small from up there.
And so worth looking after.
Why is that so hard to remember when we're back on the ground?

This is my Mother in 1969. ❤️
There's a quote (attributed to the Buddha) that says: "When you realise how perfect everything is, you'll tilt your head back and laugh at the sky."
It doesn't mean everything is fine. It doesn't mean the world isn't painful or frightening.
It means that when you stop fighting the things you were never going to control anyway — there's a release. A lightness.
My mother understood that.

Byron Hartley told me I had fat thighs at junior school. I've thought about what he said a million times since then. In changing rooms. On beaches. In moments that had nothing to do with Byron Hartley whatsoever.
It's not Byron Hartley I need to let go of, it's the six year old girl who believed him.

peace

Today is Thursday.
So far I've spent it worrying about next Sunday, revisiting last Wednesday and briefly, I'm not sure why, something that happened when I was six.
My mind is very busy and very thorough about being very busy.
The one place it hasn't been much today is here.
