Many of your writings and the comments on this blog I can relate to, though the words didn't come from my pen they seem to match my heart. This one especially touched me, perhaps because of the title. Yesterday morning I had a "breakthrough practice"...after days and days of practices where I felt a struggle to focus and be connected, finally I felt the connection to my Self easier and stronger. Maybe I was practicing at the same time as you, or nearly. I can relate also to the command to stop gazing on the false flowers (not spend my focus on what is not truly alive and beautiful) , to first know myself through sensation (how true for me that my body connects me to my Self), and to pray such blooms, grateful for what is real. These moments are among the most important in my life and sustain me. thank you for this.
