With a little mud I can build bricks and from there I can build a case." I'm struck by how often we use the evidence we have to wall us into a world view that isn't kind to us or the people around us. Someone cuts us off in traffic and we take it personally. Our kids are acting out. Proof we're a bad parent. And so it can go, if we believe our case that we're failing or not measuring up, somehow.What I've been discovering as I work with my own mind and assist others in inquiry is that there's another choice. ]]> http://www.oasislifedesign.com/content/building-a-kinder-world/feed/ 0 http://www.oasislifedesign.com/content/hitting-refresh/ http://www.oasislifedesign.com/content/hitting-refresh/#comments Mon, 06 Jun 2011 11:23:13 +0000 Susan Grace http://oasislifedesign.com/blog/?p=494 http://www.oasislifedesign.com/content/hitting-refresh/feed/ 0 http://www.oasislifedesign.com/content/shifting-the-lens/ http://www.oasislifedesign.com/content/shifting-the-lens/#comments Tue, 17 May 2011 16:32:39 +0000 Susan Grace http://oasislifedesign.com/blog/?p=500 http://www.oasislifedesign.com/content/shifting-the-lens/feed/ 1 http://www.oasislifedesign.com/content/baja-a-whales-eye-view/ http://www.oasislifedesign.com/content/baja-a-whales-eye-view/#comments Mon, 28 Mar 2011 17:02:06 +0000 Susan Grace http://oasislifedesign.com/blog/?p=482 http://www.oasislifedesign.com/content/baja-a-whales-eye-view/feed/ 4 http://www.oasislifedesign.com/content/exploding-head-remedy/ http://www.oasislifedesign.com/content/exploding-head-remedy/#comments Wed, 02 Mar 2011 17:21:44 +0000 Susan Grace http://oasislifedesign.com/blog/?p=468 "All this talking and talking makes our heads explode."

The days I actually believe that "they're" at fault. By "they" I mean anybody (or anything) out there that I can judge or blame. Like my dog for barking too much, my husband for not shutting the door, the weather for not being warmer or drier. Not to mention the theme songs I play in my own brain. Number one right now is There's something wrong, and it's because I'm not enough or there's not enough. These are the days I need a truth serum. Or some loving but stern Zen master to rap me up the side of the head. One question can usually do that: really? Is it true? When I'm aware enough of that feeling of shrinking inside, the way I'm living from a small self, that's usually enough to bring me back.Sometimes Truth shows up in harsher ways: the illness or death of a loved one can take me right there. To an opening of the heart big enough to embrace and allow the beauty around me to teach me to heal. What a shame that this is what it would take.]]> http://www.oasislifedesign.com/content/truth-serum/feed/ 0
