no one could know how much i needed this this week
Thanks to more than one dear friend, this guided meditation from a brilliant guru named Jason Headley, floating serenely out there in the electronic aether, popped up in my various media feeds, and I am extremely grateful.
While, as another friend says, “it’s not how Elizabeth* does it”, it certainly applies to the kind of stuff I’ve been dealing with recently, what with demands and stressors I’m dealing with (that I won’t go into here, but if you’re interested, pull me aside in the real world; it’s very likely to become an entertaining story of schadenfreude in repeated tellings as I develop some distance; tragedy + time equals comedy, after all), this two minutes and change really resonated with me in ways you can only imagine, and it provided me with a much-needed laugh yesterday.
I share it here, for posterity and for the benefit of anyone else who needs it:
I hope it helps some of you as much as it helped me. If you need a nice companion piece, as always, you can’t go wrong with this classic bedtime story.
