“JUST sit comfortably… / by Tahlia Roper

…and close your eyes”

Oh Sam Harris, take me back to present land.

Yesterday had a strange energy about it, several clumsy happenings in a row.

A day where I immediately google, “is Mercury in retrograde?”

I have no basis for this it's just nice to blame it on the stars at my convenience.

If you've ever googled it yourself you'll likely come across this message:

When I feel discombobulated it usually stems from a lack of presence, rather than stars conspiring against me.

Maybe I'll get through the whole day wondering what's going on, only to realize that I've been mindlessly bobbing about.

It's good to have these days though, a reminder how easily things can get out of hand when you're not paying attention.

A reminder to slow down and breathe.

Not to be “that” person but meditation has changed my life.

I'm just over here being the open space in which everything is appearing.

Beautiful sunset yesterday:

Cheers to a new day, a calm day, a day worth being present for.
