This was a great 3 part piece Camilla.

It really gave me a lot to think about, when it comes to how my beliefs influence my meaning making.

I found this quote by, Kalanithi, to be such a powerful point—-

“If the unexamined life was not worth living, was the unlived life worth examining?…

I could either study meaning or I could experience it.”

—- because I find sometimes I spend too much time examining and dissecting my life to find meaning in it, rather than just doing the things I find meaningful.

Thanks so much for your support Michael. I love reading your comments.

And yes, our Buddhist monk friends across the road here often point towards “the middle way” and equanimity, i.e. they remind us of the importance of balance, and ‘time and place’✨🌟💖🙏🏼🕊

Yes, I’ve been doing my best over the last few years to try walk, what seems for me at least, to be the tight-rope of ‘the middle way’, but slowly slowly we get better.

Thanks Camilla.
