Worrywart

I am a worrier.

Somehow I think that worrying gives me a measure of control over uncontrollable situations.

I have this idea that if I constantly imagine the worst-case scenario, then it won’t happen. A prediction of a morbid future somehow keeps it at bay.

That way I won’t be surprised.

It might be true or not, but it doesn’t leave much room for positive thoughts.

Or faith in God.

Worrying is just another side of fear, fear running roughshod over trusting the freedom of choice.

I worry a loved one may hurt herself. It would hurt deeply, but what can my worrying do? Except exacerbate the situation by keeping me from being centered, present, prayerful, and hopeful…

Trust is not the answer to worry. Prayer is.

I cannot begin to count the number of years accumulated from the hundreds of sleepless nights I have spent in fretful worry or rage.

Anger is simply another side of the restless coin. I do not believe that God can handle the situation, conversation, conflict, relationship . . . so I must carry on endless conversations in my head rather than simply releasing everything in prayer.

An old song comes to mind . . .  “bigger than all my problems, bigger than all my fears, God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see.”

Let go and let God. Trite perhaps. But in essence quite correct. My hands have become arthritic talons from holding on to so many regrets, slights, grudges, dreams, hurts, wishes …

It is time once again to release the reins.

Watching people today talk about choosing peace over achievement, and I feel it in my bones. Not because ambition is wrong — but because I've sat across from too many people who got everything they chased and still felt empty. Peace isn't the reward at the end of the race. It's the ground you stand on while you run. You can choose it right now. This moment. This breath.

THE NOW
How Eckhart Tolle’s Teachings Helped Me See the Present Moment Differently

What began as something I read during a difficult period of my life gradually became something I learned to experience through breath, awareness, and simply being here.

#Mindfulness #Presence #PersonalGrowth

Saw a question today: comfort or inner peace? I've been sitting with it, and here's what I keep coming back to. Comfort is a cushion — it softens the fall but doesn't keep you standing. Inner peace is the ground itself. It doesn't stop the rain, but it means you're not standing on quicksand when it comes. I'll take the ground every time.

Er, no, he doesn't. Mayorship doesn't mean you get the lion's share of speaking engagements. Memorials are about #accompaniment, #bearingwitmess, #platforming others, especially #survivors and #victimfamilies, and #presence. For some moments in life there are no words.

Despacio. One word. My grandmother's entire yoga teaching, without the yoga.

She said it to her plants, to herself, to a ten-year-old who didn't know she was learning.

What word from someone you loved carries the most?

La méditation sans religion

Avec les progrès de l’imagerie médicale, il est devenu possible de voir, avec grande précision, ce qui se passe dans le cerveau d’une personne en méditation ou d’une autre qui prétend avoir des visions. Lorsque des neurologues s’intéressent à la religion, la proximité entre les sciences dures et les disciplines interprétatives posent de multiples questions.

Depuis une trentaine d’années, de nombreux scientifiques ont étendu le champ des recherches sur le cerveau. Dans l’immense champ de recherches, sont nés les concepts de « neuro-anthropologie », « neuro-théologie » et bien d’autre « neuro-quelque chose ».

REALITY:
NO ASSEMBLY REQUIRED 💎

There is #nothing to attain because reality has never been absent.

The mind imagines that #peace lies somewhere ahead, just beyond one more insight, one more #practice, one more achievement. Yet every movement towards a #future peace quietly assumes that peace is not already here.

“I need do nothing” is not an invitation to become passive. It is an invitation to stop interfering.

Reality does not require my improvement. It does not wait for my approval. It does not depend upon my #understanding. It simply is.

The #sun does not struggle to shine. It shines because shining is its #nature. Reality does not struggle to be #real. It is complete before I notice it.

On your #planet, extend yourself vertically towards your Sun.

In #ACIM terms, the #horizontal is the #world of bodies, #time, special #relationships, #conflict and #comparison. It is the movement of the #dream across the surface of the mind. The vertical is the turning of the mind towards #God, towards the #light that has never left it. It does not require withdrawal from the world. It simply restores direction. The horizontal continues, but it is no longer asked to provide what only the vertical can give.

The burden has never been the world. The burden has been my attempt to replace what is here with what I think should be here.

#Stillness is not something I create. It is what remains when I stop #manufacturing #alternatives.

Nothing needs to be added to this moment. Nothing real is missing. Nothing true has been damaged. God has already completed creation. My part is not to improve it but to stop overlooking it.

When I breathe without demanding another experience, stillness becomes obvious.

When I stop searching for meaning, meaninglessness dissolves into simple #presence.

When I stop trying to become, I #discover that being has quietly been here all along.

The world continues. #Weather comes and goes. Bodies age. #Thoughts appear and disappear. None of that has the authority to define reality.

#Reality is #light.

Reality is #warm.

Reality is already here.

The choice is always the same: to become fascinated with the horizontal movement of the #dream, or to remember the vertical orientation towards the light. The vertical does not reject the horizontal. It simply gives it its proper place.

The sun has never stopped shining.

I need only stop looking away.

Right here.

Right now.

Nothing is needed.

Nothing is lacking.

Reality is still exactly as God created it.

Réflexions sur le sens de l’existence

Soyez le plus simple et le plus sincère possible avec ce que vous êtes, avec ce qui est là maintenant.

Les seules choses dont je puis absolument vous assurer, c’est qu’il ne vous manque rien et que la situation dans laquelle vous êtes est la meilleure qui soit.

Ne passez pas votre temps à créer des situations idéales, à construire des états intérieurs favorables, rendez vivante l’opportunité présente de ce que vous êtes.

Mettez-vous véritablement à l’écoute de ce qui est là, et là est le fil, suivez ce fil.

*

Nous sommes tous appelés à transmettre. Nous ne pourrons honorer tout ce que nous avons reçu que le jour où nous transmettrons à notre tour, et cela devra être enrichi par notre expérience, notre crois-sance. Ce jour-là, nous honorerons vraiment, nous rendrons vraiment grâce.

Si nous disons simplement « merci » au moment où nous recevons l’enseignement, c’est une réaction instinctive. Ce n’est pas cela remercier l’enseignement. Remercier, c’est d’abord recevoir, incarner dans sa vie, garder les commandements chaque jour, entrer en relation, aimer son prochain, explorer ce qui en nous entrave l’amour, et faire grandir l’être. Lorsque nous redonnons cela, lorsque nous entrons en relation avec notre prochain avec cette qualité, alors ce jour-là nous disons vraiment merci.

*

Tout est temple pour qui cette lumière est allumée. Quelle sorte de lumière dois-je allumer en moi pour que tout retrouve sa nature de temple ? Il faut que ma conscience soit éveillée et éclaire pour que tout soit reconnu comme nature de temple.

*

Il est essentiel de ne pas considérer la méditation comme une évasion dans un royaume personnel de tranquillité, mais plutôt comme une opportunité de vivre plus pleinement et consciemment chaque instant de notre existence.

Storm Surge

In the end,
will you be faithful?
That is question.

When the storm has come and gone,
when what you thought was precious has been stripped away,
when you sleep in darkness wondering if the lights will ever come back on,
when your life in the flash of lightning reverts back to the everyday of your sisters and brothers in the warzone,
when your plane to those destinations is grounded by the thunder’s roar?

Will you awake to new resolve for justice?
Will you spend less time before the screen and more time present to loved ones and those in need of it?
Will you leave the ground to alight among the troubled?
Will you listen to them?

Will the power that comes on be in you,
through you,
glowing out through your eyes,
electrifying,
filling you with a compassion so compelling
you become a wire
among many
channeling
love and peace
to the world?

LE POÈTE (Eqbâl)

https://arbrealettres.wordpress.com/2026/06/14/le-poete-eqbal/

I am writing an open letter to the #fediverse #administration and #moderation community, because you need to keep a few things in mind.

Lately I have started noticing some #fediverse #relays disable this instance in the server logs.

It seems like #censorship is alive and well. Whether it be #language or #geography based.

I will say this once.

I have no issue at all with #international content. In fact I encourage it. And I am working on a #translation enabled client for #Mastodon to release as #open #source #software, so that anyone can interact with any #ActivityPub #server out there, to not exclude entire swaths of #audience reach, that would and currently still is, isolated by regional and not human #diversity as such.

To be clear. I do not want to #expose #racism to the world. I want to move beyond that, to create ways by which #inclusive dialog can transcend #world #borders few want you to never forget.

To do that, we will at some point or other have to talk about some concepts that would otherwise never find common resolution in the mind of the everyday person. And I am open to hosting that.

I simply want to put our humanity first, the way the open #internet prior to any concept of #weaponization, was designed to build conceptually. Before bots, automation and spam ruined the experience of the pre-web 2.0 internet. To the point where marking anything as either or, gets you silenced before you remember you once weren't.

Speaking on a personal level, I make mistakes in my ability to just post before I #think about things. I cannot premoderate everything I say to the point where it comes across as neutral or distant, as if I never bothered to go through the experience. And I admit I am and can be at #fault for that. But what I cannot #apologize for, is why I #feel the way I do. In order to clear my #mind my #head, and my #heart for better #times and #memories I can more clearly #focus on. And this is what #inspires me to keep things moving along such a trajectory.

I can't be #positive or #negative all the time. I will just be #real, and let the #moment pass. In #trust that you're with me for whatever part of that #journey comes our way.

I do'nt want us separated by preventable alternatives that bring us closer together. That is my ultimate #purpose as to why I am making this post.

With this in mind, I myself have a tendency to be the only one posting on this server...but if you want to join us, and speak in your own language or talk about issues that matter to you...then by all means, go for it.

I am doing the same here, not to get attention, but to find #community so we can bond over things held in common, not broken by common disinterest. And I have largely been very #successful at this both on other platforms, and by sticking to topics at hand in more traditional forums.

The truth of the matter, is that we have a critical shortage of relays in the fediverse active at any one time. Until recently we have been fortunate here at #MediaNexus to have over 70 enabled instances, this has dropped since to the late 60's since reports started coming in criticizing just one post about the #war I have made, calling out a commentator for their views.

We can't always #agree on things. But we can ensure that we stand for the principle of an agreement not to break down over the disagreements of a few people, who just can't get along no matter how you approach them.

Guys, we need #decentralized #media now more so than ever before. It is not about monitoring for dangerous opinions. I don't want to live in an echo chamber. IF that's what you want, then I suggest you visit #BlueSky for that.

And so this is not about what I want. I have no #agenda to share. Just a simple message. Layered in #truth and #growth of either #awareness or #news that isn't 100% reliant on one person's understanding to be amplified by 1000000 more as their own, holey so.

In part, while we live in an age of alternate #information being so readily available. Even about the same exact #post generating different #analysis by whoever is looking at it from multiple perspectives. We cannot mix #facts with #fiction where #events count objectively.

Losing access to one #relay especially using platforms like #pleroma and #mastodon, potentially means dozens of your available #updates as your #content gets published, cannot be seen. And, I am asking on behalf of all #sane server owners out there, to stand in solidarity with one another for the sake of our continuity. So that one link in our chain, does not and cannot cripple its #functionality anymore. To the point where nodes are centralized around #ideals not #ideas in turn.

Please, mention me in any #disagreement you may have. We are #humans not #bots at the end of the day. And a lot of us pay really good #money to #hosting companies to be able to critically customize our experience on the deecentralized web. Myself included.

We don't do that because it's cool. We do that, because we trust in all of you to uphold this #principle of our continuity as a whole. At the federation, relay, server instance, and user level.

Media Nexus is very young. And I have only managed to get 5 people to sign up because of the common culture I would otherwise not have been able to share as we explore the world we each live in collectively.

As an #important #introduction to the wider reach of independent blogs and forums, I started this server, not to compete with others, but to ensure that we treat this entire medium of #communication like a single #torrent in great health.

I have no interest by and large, in running a #social #media company for the sake of establishing a #network of random people who otherwise have nothing in common accept liking the interface by which we share are thoughts with one another. Although I will admit that's half the fun in making this possible.

In order for us to #work together, I have to imagine we already are doing so even if we never met in person.

Due to the abundant use of platforms widely available for #engagement of various purposes, all I can offer you, is access to someone who puts humanity first. Not by trend, but by principle. That's not just me, that's all of you that believe we are stronger together. Posting just as you do, for being all that you are, where ever your sense of community feels most comfortable belonging there.

No matter who reads this letter, I #support you in all that you do, even if there are times where we have to talk about why we matter to one another. The fact that it can happen at all, is a #miracle I will always #cherish and #embrace while I am alive on this Earth. Because everyone, even you, play a part in our experience in this way. And I wouldn't trade or exchange that for anything.

I #love you for the #person you are, as you become involved in your journey of #life here. And likewise, appreciate you for caring about your place in our world. And as I said above, I only wish for us to find common ground on things we in turn find interesting enough to boost, favorite, and reply to. Whether that's a poll, a photo, or a news article.

I know this post is getting quite long. But there are #reasons why I have to personally speak up about this. As someone who only started their journey on any kind of federated platform let alone hosting one at the beginning of March of this year, following the #tech news of very unsettling feedback. I cannot in good #faith abandon the #philosophy of things that go #viral, because they're #genuine and #free enough to be #authentic and original. And to me, it absolutely #matters that we remember how to #teach this to our #friends and #family as a whole. Less we forget how to #remember our meaning in a world we can still #save from the #absence of all that brings our #presence into #power in turn.

It starts with the #recognition that to deny anyone based on the #group of a sub culture someone belongs to, is a slippery slope of a #sincere and #honest diversion I cannot support.

Thank you for your #attention to this matter.

If this #resonates with you, or even if it does not, let me know.

Yours with warm #appreciation and #gratitude abounding,

Elshara Silverheart

No audience.
No stage.
Just a few seconds of peace.
Nothing here is trying to be seen.

In our world, we're conditioned from childhood to equate our self-worth with our results: good grades, career leaps, salary, the number of to-dos completed, even likes on a vacation photo...

We only feel "valuable" when we've produced or achieved something

STOP CHASING; START BEING.

In a world obsessed with more...
calm is the new luxury...

A quotation from Robert Banks Stewart

   HUCKLE: As far as we know, the sea was calm and empty.
   THE DOCTOR: It may be calm, but it’s never empty.

Robert Banks Stewart (1931-2016) Scottish screenwriter, television producer, journalist
Doctor Who (1963), 13×01 “Terror of the Zygons,” Part 1 (1975-08-30)

J’aimerais vraiment faire un montage pour quelqu’un, pas seulement pour m’entraîner.
