This is a practice of rising above whenever we find ourselves caught in a swirl of never ending, unproductive thoughts, or feeling in pain. Remembering (being mindful) to rise above the pettiness that can form easily in our lives – the unnecessary thoughts, the judgments upon judgments, and taking life too seriously. How can we step back? What is your go-to practice?
Rise Above, by Taigu Ryokan
You must rise above
the gloomy clouds
covering the mountaintop
otherwise, how will you
ever see the brightness?
