“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.” ― Thich Nhat Hang

[entheognosis]

Buddhism teaches that joy and happiness arise from letting go. Please take an inventory of your life. There are things you’ve been hanging on to that really are not useful and deprive you of your freedom. Find the courage to let them go.

Thich Nhat Hanh

“Feelings come and go like clouds in a windy sky. Conscious breathing is my anchor.”🩶⚓️

― Thich Nhat Hang

[julesofnature]

“One Autumn day I was in a park and I looked at a very small beautiful leaf, it’s color was almost red. It was barely hanging on the branch nearly ready to fall down. I spent a long time with it and I asked the leaf a number of questions. I found out the leaf had been a mother to the tree. We usually think that the tree is the mother and the leaves are just children but as I looked at the leaf I saw that the leaf is also a mother to the tree. The sap that the roots take up is only water and minerals, not sufficient to nourish the tree, so the tree distributes the sap to the leaves, and the leaves transform the rough sap into an elaborated sap with the help of the sun and air and then send it back to the tree for nourishment. Therefore leaves are also a mother to the tree…. I asked the leaf whether it was scared because it was autumn and the other leaves were falling. The leaf told me, “No. During the whole spring and summer I was very alive. I worked hard and helped nourish the tree, and much of me is in the tree. I AM NOT LIMITED by this form. I am the whole tree, and when I go back to the soil, I will continue to nourish the tree. As I leave this branch and float to the ground, I will wave to the tree and tell her, ‘I will see you again very soon…. And after a while I saw the leaf leave the branch and float down to the soil dancing joyfully. Because as it floated it saw itself already there in the tree. It was so happy. I have a lot to learn from the leaf because it is not afraid – it knew nothing can be born and nothing can die.” ~ Thich Nhat Hanh https://themuseinthemirror.com/2016/11/04/natures-wisdom-thich-nhat-hanh-on-autumn-leaves-life-death-continuation/

Letting go in a lying-down position

Lie on your back on a flat surface without the support of mattress or pillow. Keep your two arms loosely by your sides and your two legs slightly apart, stretched out before you. Maintain a half smile. Breathe in and out gently, keeping your attention focused on your breath. Let go of every muscle in your body. Relax each muscle as though it were sinking down through the floor or as though it were as soft and yielding as a piece of silk hanging in the breeze to dry. Let go entirely, keeping your attention only on your breath and half smile. Think of yourself as a cat, completely relaxed before a warm fire, whose muscles yield without resistance to anyone's touch. Continue for 15 breaths. 

- Thich Nhat Hanh, in ”The Miracle of Mindfulness”.

Last song: At Giza by OM. i listened to it while stocking yogurt inside the cooler at work and it was great. i felt like i was in communion with all people who have lost themselves in the motions of a thoughtless and repetitive task. my coworker was on the other side facing the stuff as i was stocking it and she waved to me through the yogurt, which made me remember how we planned to hang out and watch conan the destroyer later in the week, and i thought about how we would order chinese food to eat while we watch the movie, how i was looking forward to that, and how cool it was of her to ask to come over and watch it. the whole experience made me very glad for my life which is a feeling that OM provokes in me a lot!

Currently reading: THE BOOK OF THE NEW SUN, endlessly... i am now early in Citadel of the Autarch. where will fate bring Severian next? i think much has yet to be fulfilled. it just keeps getting better and better. the book of the new sun is something that to me is so good it's almost impossible to talk about.

i pass in and out of reading a few other things also. two big ones for me have been the Penguin Classics selected writings of Meister Eckhart and The Heart of the Buddha's Teaching by Thich Nhat Hanh. i enjoy both but both leave me wanting something. i also have a kindle sample downloaded for Paul Takes the Form of a Mortal Girl, which a few friends were talking about reading together as part of a book club... although i have not looked at the sample yet!

Currently watching: last night i really wanted to watch Children of Men but i didn't want to pay the 4 dollars to rent it on any kind of service so i just watched clips on youtube from the movie until i felt like i remembered enough of the rest of it that it was "refreshed" in my mind and i didn't need to watch it again. remembering this makes me feel some regret. i should have just rented and watched the movie.

today i was thinking that i should watch some of the star trek shows from the 80s and 90s again. i loved them as a kid and there's this toy store near work that has tons of the old action figures of all the characters. one of my coworkers is super into star trek and he showed me his collection of like every deep space 9 figure. i have such a fond, warm place for those shows in my memory!

Current obsession: wintertime! i keep thinking about autumn and winter and how eager i am for them to come. i want to walk around in the frigid and misty winter night and go downtown and really feel like i am in the absolute center of some kind of cold, austere, hierarchical structure. then i go back to my apartment and the warm light and comfortable things. today my friend asked me if i was doing anything for christmas this year. like five months in advance! how cute! when i was a child for some reason i had a playmobil playset of the three wise kings from the nativity story. just the kings and their camel and their supplies, no other nativity stuff included. i had no awareness of any bible stories as a child except the nativity scene and i only knew about it because my dad explained who the three toy kings were. because of that i always associated christmas with a feeling of extreme ancient mystery as a kid

Hey Lazy, I've been struggling with loneliness lately. I've been pretty introverted most of my life: I've got three friends I've known since we were in diapers, my college roommate, and an ex, and thats basically it. Of those, the only one who lives near me is one of my three oldest friends, and we get together once a week to hang out and chat. Of the entire group, the only one that really initiates contact regularly is my ex.

I've been trying to reach out and meet people recently, but it feels like it never works out. Went to Bite of Seattle this past weekend, and the music was so loud I couldn't hear the person standing right next to me. And to add injury to insult I burned the crud out of my neck. Got connected with a local Plum Village/Thich Nhat Hanh sangha over the weekend...and everyone there is like twice my age. Found a poetry group with some awesome people that actually meets up in person, all of once a month.

The yoga/buddhism group I met with for years and made friends through fell apart over the course of the covid lockdowns.

I'm unemployed, so I don't have that point of contact with people. I'm going to be volunteering at the local children's theater, working front of house this coming season, but that won't start for a while yet.

A lot of people, particularly those who have social anxiety and are introverts, feel that making friends and having good social experiences hinges on them being liked. Awkwardness, discomfort, and confusion arises when we feel like we must present ourselves in a certain way in order for other people to want to spend time with us. This self-referential focus not only totally disrupts the flow of interaction but also entirely misses the point:

It's not about being liked. It's about taking a liking to others.

It sounds like you're making the effort to connect. The poetry group sounds cool! And the theatre volunteering too.

I'm an introvert in that socializing often feels like I am spending energy, and I regain that energy by spending time alone. But I do love to socialize and spend time with people.

I have been in this new city for three years now, ever since starting residency during the pandemic in 2020. I don't have a single friend here other than work acquaintances.

Part of that is just how busy I am. But another aspect is that it can be very difficult to make new friends as an adult.

Joining groups, finding hobbyist activities, and just generally exploring what's around in your area is a good start.

Some social dynamic shifts I've noticed in myself since entering my mid 30s:

Talking less about myself.

Asking more questions. Taking an interest in the person with whom I am talking.

If I do talk about myself, it's usually to guide the conversation further and then back toward the other person. Like, "I once did something like that too, [insert thing here], and I felt like [blank]. How'd it strike you? Have you done anything similar recently?"

I learn more about a person by hearing their perspectives, motivations, or passions rather than hearing about their history.

Joking, laughing, teasing happens when you are feeling playful. Don't worry about being funny, just let yourself have fun. If they get it, great. If they don't, then it's just another thing to laugh about.

Loneliness can be difficult. Taking the steps to have a healthy social life is a good way to address it. The other thing to keep in mind is that loneliness may be transformed into aloneness.

When we are lonely, there is a perception of separation. When we feel alone (in a divine sense), then it feels like solitude even while we are in communion with the universe. I've written a fair bit about this in the past, I'd be happy to dig some of those posts up for you if you have trouble finding them.

Much love, brother.

A sun hangs in the sky in a red-pink halo. Two figures wearing wide-brimmed hats are walking hand-in-hand towards the sun. One seems to be a small child, and the other an adult with billowing sleeves holding a staff.]

Peace is every step. The shining red sun is my heart.

Each flower smiles with me. How green, how fresh all that grows. How cool the wind blows.

Peace is every step. It turns the endless path to joy. - Thich Nhat Hanh

Bian and Ksitigarbha from Tusita’s Last Tenant, and one of my favourite poems by Thay.

Detail and list of fountain pen inks used at https://www.pillowfort.social/posts/3202888

[hoursofreading]

Do you know any history about Thich Nhat Hanh or Sister Chan Khong? Thay was exiled from his home for decades, Sr. Chan Khong was arrested, many of their students and disciples were murdered, villages where they built schools and infrastructure were repeatedly bombed, they chartered fishing boats and braved literal pirates to rescue refugees out of the middle of the ocean during war... and they never waivered from their message of peace in every word and action. MLK Jr nominated TNH for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Where do you live? There are monasteries in the Plum Village tradition (founded by TNH) in New York, California, and Mississippi, as well as a few in Europe and Asia. Go to a retreat. Sit near the monastics. Talk to the monastics. Especially hang out near where they wash the pots and pans after meals. All I can say is, that shit's real. They are genuinely the happiest people I've ever encountered, even in July in Mississippi when it's 98 degrees and so humid it feels like swimming through air, and they're washing pots next to a steaming sanitizer, all while wearing multiple long layers of heavy fabric. They're radiating happiness with every micro-expression.

I have had a chance to help some of the nuns with English. Sometimes they share journal-type writing about their day to day lives. I showed one to my daughter (in her 20s) and she cried. It's just pages of stuff like "I woke up and did some stretches to take care of my body. I walked to the meditation hall in the cool, quiet, darkness. I saw the moon and felt very happy. I saw how the dew sparkles like jewels on the grass.The breeze in the leaves made a soft sound and the birds sang..."

Once, we were there when a young monastic had her birthday. For a lark since there were a lot of lay people there, they sang happy birthday and spent a few moments talking about what a wonderful sister she is. One nun said "when I heard it was her birthday, I felt so happy! I thought about how fortunate we are to have her as our sister. I remember one day when she called me out on the balcony to show me how beautiful the full moon looked. It's so wonderful that she shared her happiness with me. I wanted to give her something in honor of her birthday, so I offered her half of my banana and we ate together." And the birthday girl is nodding and smiling this huge smile because yeah, sharing food and companionship is wonderful.

Since that day, my daughter and I never eat a banana without offering half to each other, and I'm not kidding, it makes me feel happiness and love every time.

Sometimes lay people go and stay for months. If they've been there a while, they'll also shine with wonder and appreciation for the tiniest things. If you ask them how long they've been there or why they came, you'll find out fast how real the work is. People go after the death of a child, after leaving an abusive marriage, to get off heroine after years of addiction, to find a reason to live after countless suicide attempts, or to have a place to sleep and eat after parents kick them out for their identity... Vets who fought in the Vietnam war go to make amends and work for peace. The reasons people go would justify walking through the rest of life as a half-zombie, half-human struggling to just keep on keeping on. But they stay, and practice, and find out that there can be peace in every step.

This is some kool aid worth drinking, friend. Drink the plum village kool aid. You will never regret it.
