For some reason I've decided to name this post the Smile of Non-Fear part 2 or Starting Over. I feel as though when I went to Hawaii I received a real spiritual gift -- faith. I've started praying to a higher power - a god - God whatever is out there. I don't really have any idea what it is except that it dwells in most people and is everywhere and part of everything. Once I visited a non-demoniational chapel in Houston that had all of these paintings by that painter who paints the canvas just one color and these were all black or almost black I forget how many and you just sat there and contemplated these paintings, or not and I felt the presence of a higher power then and that has been the only other time. Now it is just there and I pray to it and I feel better. It's a simple formula, I guess that's why it's sold so well all of these years.
Practiced primary with a dear friend tonight - I know - a Saturday - who cares, I wanted to practice. It was good. Not my best, but in the flow and with a good balance of ease and effort. It worked, that's what matters.

Blessings on your journey. I came to your site looking for Pema Chodron's "Loving Kindness Meditation" instructions. I landed on your first entry about "The Smile of Non-fear" and appreciated it deeply, along then with the surprise to see this more recent post. Again: Blessings on your journey!
Peace,
