This is from a post on February 15, 2012. It struck me as a useful reminder to be present to everything, even tiredness and discouragement.
Lynelle referred me to Cynthia’s quote from a Sufi master, Kabir Helminski: “The person who makes all cares into one care, the care for simply staying present, will be cared for by that presence which is creative love.” I found that very helpful. No matter how tired and discouraged I am, I can always be present to tiredness and discouragement.
