“… all the misfortune of men comes from one thing, which is not knowing how to stay rested in a room.”
— Blaise Pascal
Pascal died in 1662. This quote is from his “Pensées” (“Thoughts”) that were published posthumously in 1670.
The French original goes like this: “… tout le malheur des hommes vient d’une seule chose, qui est de ne pas savoir demeurer en repos dans une chambre.”
A problem then, a problem today still.

@dangillmor. Yes. Just listened to pre-#indictment coverage on #NPR's #HereAndNow and am nauseous. The story simply recapitulated #Trump's claims about his #freespeech being attacked, which is factually not the case. At no point, though, did the interviewer ask the person with whom she was speaking whether #Trump's claims were true or false. Please #media, I beg of you, do better. Our #democracy is at stake.

I was listening to NPR's Here and Now and the topic was knowing what land you stand on if you are in a country that was colonized.
Something was said about making this a thing people could do or should do in a public setting, or before an event or even a groundbreaking. Know and name the place you are standing on. I like this idea, if only to remind us to at the VERY least, acknowledge we're not native. You can name the land under you, here:

I live on Nipmuc land.

@depression @mentalhealth
In my experience #mindfulness practise is beneficial against #depression. It helps reducing our negative thoughts, while we feel less anxious about the future and contributes in staying in the present, #hereandnow.

@ekg1976 @depression @mentalhealth Yes, it helps to stay #hereandnow which in so important for #depression and #bipolar

A working method suggested by my psychiatrist which makes you feel a little better during #depression is to focus our attention on the #hereandnow. #gardening #hiking #sewing #cooking or whatever you like to keep you focused.

A little something I wrote for #inspiration. Was meant for me to remind of myself.
“Don’t stress out, my warrior! Don’t dwell on the past. Love yourself first. Be happy. Be in the…Here and Now.”

Very glad to be here. Grateful to pastor the great people at #okcfirst, a congregation full of people ready for change and #peace. Because we are a #Nazarene and #Wesleyan group, we get involved; we welcome the #conversations; and we’ll enjoy all of it. #hereandnow #realizedeschatology God has been faithful to us, to me.
