The best I could do today...
…was tell people that they were worthy of love, not crazy, not to blame for their abuse and can get better.
Anonymous asked: Were you always so... open I guess is the word I am looking for. Maybe unapologetic, or confident in who you are. I am not sure what the best way to describe it, but I would like to be that way too.

The Gates of Heaven →
A soldier named Nobushige came to Hakuin, and asked: “Is there really a paradise and a hell?”
“Who are you?” inquired Hakuin.
“I am a samurai,” the warrior replied.
“You, a soldier!” exclaimed Hakuin. “What kind of ruler would have you as his guard? Your face looks like that of a beggar.”
Nobushige became so angry that he began to draw his sword, but Hakuin continued:...

I am an INFP Introverted, Intuition, Feeling, Perceiving

They experience this intense caring most often in their relationships with others, but they may also experience it around ideas, projects, or any involvement they see as important.

My journey to work, from a place of relative affluence and safety to a place of abject poverty and danger, is like a descent into a pit of human suffering and insanity. This is a slice of hell, situated in a beautiful gleaming city and not 6 blocks away of untold wealth.

my intention for the week
—
May I be a guard for those who are protectorless,
A guide for those who journey on the road.
For those who wish to go across the water,
May I be a boat, a raft, a bridge.
—

For those who long for a resting place, a bed;
For all who need a servant, may I be their slave.
—
May I...

I've been overloaded with the suffering of others.
I’m so glad my work-week is over. Honestly, I don’t know how some of
my patients carry on living with all the problems they have, the shitty places they are forced to live and all the ways they are traumatized daily. By the end of the week, I have absorbed so much suffering and have been vicariously so traumatized that I feel absolutely spent, drained and used-up. Despite all this I...

Anonymous asked: How did you get started with Zen? Got any recommended reading?
I just randomly remembered how in the South as a teenager we often referred to a woman’s genitals as her “shakey pudding.” It’s so stupid and I can’t stop laughing.
