Many posts will have a links to another site with some information that I have found very helpful or interesting.

How do you listen?

When we hear a Dharma talk or study a sutra, our only job is to remain open. Usually when we hear or read something new, we just compare it to our own ideas. If it is the same, we accept it and say that it is correct. If it is not, we say it is incorrect. In either case, we learn nothing. If we read or listen with an open mind and an open heart, the rain of the Dharma will penetrate the soil of our consciousness.

While reading or listening, don't work too hard. Be like the earth. When the rain comes, the earth only has to open herself up to the rain. Allow the rain of the Dharma to come in and penetrate the seeds that are buried deep in your consciousness. A teacher cannot give you the truth. The truth is already in you. You only need to open yourself - body, mind, and heart - so that his or her teachings will penetrate your own seeds of understanding and enlightenment. if you let the words enter you, the soil and the seeds will do the rest of the work.

Falling into Zen

Its been a while. I still think about this blog often and think what an amazing journey I have taken. So much to learn.
Homeschooling has been wonderful so far. Growth for all parts of the family.

I look back from where I came from and think what a ball of anxiety and stress I was...I'm not saying I'm totally wonderful now... but I'm certainly a lot better.

I am still parenting my children to sleep.
I am still feeding my 2 year old son..."Mumma milk".
I am learning to listen still...I feel I am getting better and better...but still go a long way to go.
