can you auto suggest? that meeting of yourself, deep inside that warm breath, cool breath focus? “ todos los días en todos los sentidos estoy, cada vez mejor y mejor”. make the coffee and did you stop to notice? there are no concerns, just action and presence. in these moments one can be sure to align. slow to react. intentional in response. it’s in the eyes and once looking inside they’ll say “everyday in every way I’m getting better and better”. smile with the eyes

you’ve been handed a set of keys, 3 keys for 3 doors, and even though you have them, you only use one, always just one, and all those books carry keys too and all these processes unlock the heart. dropping plates to crash on the ground is like sifting sand for the many traumatic happenings we are locked into reliving. it’s a small miracle now that you see there is no real transgression against you, and there are only things happening for you and you can smile at it, reducing the reactivity to childlike giggling inside the heart. There is no other way to state this. The insults feel like love poems at times while the dreams hold you captive, chest full of caged bird warbling. it is a comfort that this violence is imaginary in a world of bomb threats and missile launches, war casualty and narcissistic insecurity. “ estoy cada vez mejor”.
