Reclaiming My True Happiness: Renewal and Transformation

For as long as I can remember, I have been a person of peace and love. My life has always been guided by the principles of happiness and positivity. However, I recently embarked on a journey to be truly happy—not just superficially or momentarily, but deeply and genuinely. This decision marked a significant shift in my life, leading me to a profound realization about my happiness and its…

davrin and rye ingellvar's dynamic continues to be unmatched. davrin invites rook along on the training trip with assan in arlathan forest as a sort of extended hand of peace because they've been getting off on the wrong foot a little bit (rook is gamely like HELL YEAH sounds fun! :) while sweating nervously), and then davrin spends the whole walk squinting at rook -- prancing around in his fancy little mourn watch silk robes getting caught on thorns, gawking at common plants and critters like he's never seen them before, stumbling over roots and laughing awkwardly about it even though davrin hasn't even said anything -- like 'who the fuck is this weird indoor kid, how have they survived this long, and more importantly why are we trusting them to save the world'. all while rook is going 'goddd I'm looking so dumb in front of the cool kid and he already questions every second thing I say or do this sucks'. but. they are both trying, and will keep trying. and this is what matters

I ride the dolphin, guided by the ocean's rhythm. As I move through the water, I feel my connection to the sea. The waves are my intuition and the sun is my awakening. 🐬🌊🌞

The purpose of healing is to develop the power to connect to our core, so we can express our authentic self and follow the best path for us to pursue. Healing gives us direction and clarity on how to connect to our highest purposes.

it's possible that im just experiencing distorting nostalgia for the religious experiences of my childhood. but unfortunately i kind of suspect that the reason i respected and was moved by the sermons of rabbi [redacted for being an astonishingly googleable rabbi even though the rest of my post still makes it easy to google him and also im not even sure knowing this makes me more doxxable] is because he is an extraordinarily insightful, empathetic person who had the moral clarity and courage to vocally denounce the treatment of palestinians from the bimah for years until he eventually got thrown out and had to start his own congregation/work for the quakers instead. and it's possible that any rabbi who still runs anything resembling a mainstream congregation is also going to be, at best, kind of milquetoast/simply not interesting, or at least not obviously possessed of moral and ethical insights that i don't already have from things like "being able to read" and "already having thought about judaism before"

unfortunately i can't just go to the new congregation that rabbi formed bc it's 1. not in a city i live in 2. more of an activist group in kind of a vague congregation shape that mostly made me feel like i'm a disgusting western ashkenazi supremacist for wanting religious practice to involve melodies i know and can sing instead of a rotation of international sephardic melodies accompanied by hand drum

 La tranquilidad puede ser una poderosa aliada para una mente clara y decisiones estratégicas. Como dijo Sun Tzu: “La suprema arte de la guerra es someter al enemigo sin luchar”. Esto se aplica no solo en el campo de batalla, sino también en la vida cotidiana, donde la estrategia supera a la emoción impulsiva.

Dust of Snow

BY ROBERT FROST

The way a crow

Shook down on me

The dust of snow

From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart

A change of mood

And saved some part

Of a day I had rued.

Neti Neti Series No. 8: Embracing Amusement as a Sign of Growing Detachment

Question: During my recent practice, something new occurred. Instead of feeling disturbed by the usual mental events, memories, and thoughts, I found myself experiencing a sense of amusement and relaxation as they arose and passed away. It was as if I could observe the busyness of my mind with a lighthearted detachment, seeing these thoughts as just part of the mind’s activity. Is this sense of…
