I am drawing a blank. One of those times when I am not finding the direction of something to write. Usually I hear a podcast, read an article, or am mindful of something going on in me or in other teachers that seems noteworthy. Perhaps this is the theme –I don’t know and being ok with that, trusting that something will arise before the deadline - or not. I am more committed these days to less perfectionism, to less is more and being more gentle with not knowing. “…not your aims or your actions are primary, but the state of consciousness out of which they come.” Eckhart Tolle.
