I like your use of Descartes as a springboard into this meditation. I love to play with prepositions and thought, imagining what's under, behind, before, beside, around it, etc.
Yes, Tara, for me, it changes my perspective of things. For example, just taking a moment to really hear the sounds around you, those airwaves that come and go of their own volition, which you have no control over but are in the same space as the sounds - a part of it. We are so much more than our thoughts.
Thank you, Susan. Not sure where I heard or read the phrase “you are the sky, not the clouds,” but it certainly resonated and stuck with me. So happy you enjoyed my article.

Such a rich and well thought out article, lots to digest, thank you. I think this is from Pema Chodron “you are the sky, not the clouds”.
