I love the feeling of it…Learning….how it OPENS OUT

in talking with Alyssia i was uhhhh,  ….taken…by her saying,  yes.  Radical Acceptance,  the strategy,  the tool her VA Therapy Group had worked with for over a year and i immediately recognized that…it had felt familiar…and that,  from the things she had shared over that time.   But they called it DBT…Dialectical Behavior Therapy and as i have continued to learn,  Tara Brach refers to this as the source of her work with Radical Acceptance.   And i  wanted to learn more….and FOUND MORE,   SO MUCH MORE,   right now it feels endless,  all just      There    if we want it

Radical Acceptance,  a strategy,  a tool   developed by Marsha Linehan  in her work of Dialectical Behavior Therapy

and how did she BEGIN?    She realized that she was missing a critical understanding that she needed to help people in her work and

took a sabbatical

went to  a buddhist monastery for some months 

so…i can begin.   And there is the sense that this is where i can find what i need amidst the onslaught of all that is befalling humanity and all that humanity is Causing this Beloved Earth and oneanother        …a way to live 

and as an ADDENDUM to the post of  11/2    no war on my road      In the comments,   Nancy posts the link to the video of the Child   for me,  the One image of war

so this goes deep.  and i understand and also love that it's not just the learning of it,  the knowledge of it at all…it is going to be the PRACTICE of it.   The all day,  every day Practice of it.   I am ready.
