Following sep 19 sunday summary in Hugh's Circle on Insight Timer
Poems and quotes from today’s Live session: “If the only prayer you say in your whole life is ‘thank you’, that would suffice.” (Meister Eckhart) “There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” (Albert Einstein) Poems: ‘Clearing’ by Martha Postlethwaite; ‘When I am among the trees’ by Mary Oliver; ‘The Uses of Sorrow’ (‘Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness. // It took me years to understand that this too was a gift’) by Mary Oliver; Tibetan Buddhist prayer: ‘Grant that I might have enough suffering to awaken in me the deepest possible compassion and wisdom.’ Quote from the Buddha: ‘Whatever you frequently think about and ponder on, this will become the inclination of your mind.’ I shared a reading on gratitude from Jack Kornfield’s ‘The Art of Forgiveness, Loving-kindness, and Peace’, an excellent book with readings and meditations. Please let me know if I missed anything. Have a good week and see you next Sunday 🙏🏼
