In the face of bad news we often try to escape into concocted good news, or booze. But that’s just fake distraction I think, we know the problems are still there. There is a way to embrace the problems themselves. By being a witness to the events in your life, without trying to own them. When pain or anxiety strikes, witness them and your thoughts and feelings about them, rather than identifying with them or trying to control them. Takes practice but is the doorway to infinite peace and calm. It’s the way you can occupy eternity in every moment, there is only joy in witnessing.
