A quote to change how you wake up, every morning:
“The Navajo teach their children that every morning when the sun comes up, it’s a brand-new sun. It’s born each morning, it lives for the duration of one day, and in the evening it passes on, never to return again. As soon as the children are old enough to understand, the adults take them out at dawn and they say, ‘The sun has only one day. You must live this day in a good way, so that the sun won’t have wasted precious time.’ Acknowledging the preciousness of each day is a good way to live, a good way to reconnect with our basic joy.” ~ Pema Chödrön
Listen to Waylon read the the quote aloud to nearly 3,000 good humans in our Elephant Community:
Dear Mindful Community,
This morning, 2,750 of you joined me, live, on video, from all over the world. Brazil. United Kingdom. Egypt. Even Florida.
That was so joyful to see and feel. Hope you found joy in this community, in the meditation and tonglen.
If you didn’t make it, you can watch it here.
If you did join, how was it? And where in the world are you?
Everyone’s suddenly doing webinars. We’re spending more time online than ever. But if all we do during this Coronavirus time is find a new way to create busy, we’ll have lost this once-in-a-lifetime chance to connect through boredom and busyness into our hearts, into active empathy, active love, into making a real change.
You can do it.
In that spirit, next Friday’s contemplative writing exercise is not about more. It’s about heart, community, joy. Now is the time for our world to connect, gather, and figure a way forward, together, so we can live every day from our good heart. We’ll also answer your questions.
If you didn’t make it, you can watch it here.
If you’re inspired to go all the way, and join the Elephant Academy community and get all the lessons therein, it’s far more affordable than it’s ever been, or ever will be again, right now, for now.
I’m offering 60% off an already affordable program, because now is for going deeper. Use code: WRITINGCLUB
