[Pallav Bhardwaj @aslibhardwaj]

real non-attachment doesn't need an alibi. you can let go of the outcome and still say "that was on me." those two things aren't in conflict. never were.
if letting go of outcomes also means letting go of what you did to get there that was never letting go. that was just leaving.

[Pallav Bhardwaj @aslibhardwaj]

people who talk most about surrender are often the worst at owning their choices.
that's not surrender man.
that's just dodging the mirror with better vocabulary.

[Pallav Bhardwaj @aslibhardwaj]

You don't have to stay present forever.
Just return. Again and again.

That's all Zen ever was. Not a state you hold. A direction you keep choosing.

[Pallav Bhardwaj @aslibhardwaj]

The fix isn't silencing your thoughts. It never works.
It's learning to not follow every thought down the rabbit hole.
Let it come. See it, like a person sitting on the shore, observing the river passing by.
That's Zen. Just a little more awake than yesterday.

In a historic feat by @EHTelescope & @NSF, a black hole image has been captured for the 1st time. Several of our missions observed the same black hole using different light wavelengths and collected data to understand the black hole's environment. Details: https://t.co/WOjLdY76ve
