In tonight's meditation I was at times on the verge of having a muscle cramp in my calf. Some part of me was eventually able to forestall that, tho, & relax it. I didn't get a full-on cramp. And I had the sense that my sense of egoic selfhood, the sense of "me," is like a cramp. Something to relax.

Kind of different ... and kind of not: In the mythic tale of the time of the Buddha's awakening, the demonic forces of distraction and criticism demand to know by what right he presumes to become awake. Sitting beneath a tree, he responds to them by reaching down and touching the earth. 🙂 ❤️ 🙏 🍃

Im so proud of how this tree project is coming together. I spent my whole life hearing from people that Im not qualified to work/speak on things, getting put down/denied by people in positions of authority, etc & its hurt me in ways that stopped me from so much. The trees have liberated me 😂.
