Dear Friends,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kamala Masters starts her talk, “Equanimity-Seeing the World with Quiet Eyes<\/a>“, with a quote from Howard Thurman<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n How may we work in the world courageously and intelligently, on behalf of a decent world, without despair and complete fatigue? What are the resources available for … rehabilitation and renewal? That [we might] be able to look out on life, with all of its cruel vicissitudes and transcendent joys, with quiet eyes and a tranquil spirit.<\/p>~ Howard Thurman, Deep is the Hunger: Meditations for Apostles of Sensitiveness<\/a> (1951)<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Kamala comments on this quote:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We can enjoy that rested heart, we can also see clearly in that restfulness. There’s an inner quiet, a balance, a spaciousness that has to do with seeing the world with quiet eyes. There’s a deep connection that we continue to have with the world. It’s not aloof; it’s not disconnected from what’s happening. … It’s as connected as we allow ourselves to be, based on what our balance is, based on how much we know we can hold at the moment. Being truthful with ourselves – what’s real for us, what’s practical for us, what’s safe for us to open to.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Later she adds:<\/p>\n\n\n\n We’re learning to slow down, to do less, to feel the earth beneath our feet, to give ourselves the gift of sitting and walking quietly.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Guided meditation<\/em>: In the vein of walking, here is a 5 minute talk with tips on walking meditation from Catherine McGee: For those of you in Saskatoon, you\u2019re welcome to join the Saskatoon Insight Meditation Community’s Winter Sangha Walk<\/a> on Sunday, January 12. We meet at the fire pit at the Meewasin Skating Rink (just north of the Bessborough). We will leave right at 2 PM, walk and visit for about 20 minutes, then turn around and walk back in silence. After, we\u2019ll gather at a coffee shop or some place warm for tea or cocoa and visiting. I hope you\u2019ll consider joining us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Feel free to share your reflections or comments below, or by email<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With warm wishes, Dear Friends, Kamala Masters starts her talk, “Equanimity-Seeing the World with Quiet Eyes“, with a quote from Howard Thurman: How may we work in the world courageously and intelligently, on behalf of a decent world, without despair and complete fatigue?
