We had snow today. Over a few hours, the temperature dropped from 15 to 2 degrees and rain turned into snow. Then, like this, it stopped.

I slept badly and woke up tired. My brain went again into frenzied overwhelm, dreaming of meetings, people, events, not wanting to let go. Being deprived of exercise for two days doesn’t help. Being in the city and in front of the screen too much doesn’t help either. I need trees, birds and a lot of movement to heal.

The theme of letting go keeps showing up for me in major way. First, it appeared in Sanctuary Sangha, in my conversation with Nicole and Stephanie. To the question what practices I need to prepare the ground for my work, I instinctively replied letting go. It reappeared yesterday in conversation with Bina: what do we need to let go of to do our work? Finally, I just thought about it today. I need to let go. Of projects, hustle, nervous excitement, exaggerated expectations, ego. Say it again, letting go of ego. I wonder if there is a going to bed ritual for that.

Also, quite unexpectedly, I was elected on the board of COCo. And Griffin wrote. They said, if you have time in the next few weeks to connect. To which I immediately thought, I’m so busy in the next few weeks. And the second, wiser thought: that’s why I need to slow down. Maybe, I’m becoming someone I can finally live with. Cheers to that.
