To say it's been a hard and long week would be an understatement!
Last night, I got 5 hours of sleep. And that's actually progress because this week's average has been about 2.5.
And then, the Universe stepped in early this a.m. I was scrolling through my email and I came across this...
"NO MUD, NO LOTUS...."
This Buddhist saying has many interpretations:
-Without suffering, there can be no happiness...it takes one to know the other.
-Through acceptance of life's many imperfections, we can transform.
-All things, like mud and beautiful flowers, originate from one source.
I don't know why but this resonates with me and brings me great comfort.
And tonight, before I go to bed, I"m going to put a mud mask and float like a lotus in a lovely scented bath.
My heart is open...
