I've read this entry three times over the past couple weeks. There's so much great stuff here. Each time I sit with a different part. I keep coming back to what your friend said, and you say, about our stories being whispered to us. That's so beautifully phrased. And so true. But that's also what occasionally brought me to my knees when I first got deep into silent meditation. I'd never thought about the fact that if I stopped to listen I might hear something about me that comes from outside myself. And often it's not something I want to hear. But it's always something I need to hear.
