These bodies that are given to us at birth are impermanent. One day they will cease to function, and we will die. Some of us are fortunate that our bodies will work almost until the last minute. Some of us, like myself (heart attack, cancer), are not so fortunate and we are reminded of our own mortality much earlier.
Still, all bodies are impermanent.
Reflect upon the above.

Still, I'm ready to be #surprised. I've been surprised before. Maybe this willingness to be surprised is one of the gifts of #Zen.

I explain how BDSM done with the right intent and kindness can be positive for all involved.

69 followers · 1572 posts · Server me.dmNgl, I've been talking to a 45yo woman on #KinkD and it ain't going super well. She tends to assume rather than let me reveal myself.
I am human too so I do #assume too sometimes, but I'm also a #Zen #Buddhist. I let people reveal themselves to me.
I find that the young people I've dated tend to do the same as I do. Maybe because they have "beginner's mind?" I tell them something and then they ask, rather than assume they know the answer.

65 followers · 1500 posts · Server me.dmI was thinking about going to a 7-day retreat at my #Zen center, a few states away from where I live.
I also also thinking about how I'd present this to Pretty Impala, seeing as our relationship is just starting.
Then I remembered that I'm tapering off the keppra that keeps my seizures at bay. If I were to have a seizure while #driving or at the Zen center I'd be in deep #shit because most states want you off the road when you have #seizures.
No seizures so far. ๐

๐ค Come to think of it, orgasmized religion does not sound so bad.
Maybe that's what I give my subs.

DINGO: And after the meditation, the oral sex.

So Pretty Impala asks me how the #meditation went yesterday and we talk about it, and she says she's done meditation before and wants to get back into it.
Yes yes yes yes yes yes!
I told her she's welcome to join me. I think I might just get her to sit with me.
OMG! I love her so much! ๐

We've been doing #Zoom retreats since the start of the #pandemic. I don't think they are ever going to go away. However, we've restarted going retreats in person too.

Oh, which form of #Gratitude ?
I have studied and followed #Buddhism #ZenBuddhism #Taoism etc. Also #psychology and #science
#Gratitude works. Research backs it up.
I did the #3GoodThings kind of practice for awhile, and still do sometimes. But now, it's ingrained and I pretty much am #Mindful on and off all the time, and am able to appreciate and be thankful for so many things.

If you give others the good part of a pickle, then you will accumulate merit. That is why you should take the worst part of the pickle.โ And I thought, then I would rather take the best part to let others [laughs, laughter] accumulate more merit. I didn't want to accumulate merit for myself.
