"I almost always need to make repeated visits to a place for it to fully imprint on my nervous system ... Direct perception became a way to embody emotion, as opposed to editorializing, or thinking around it."

Came up from a midnight meditation & realized I'd like to spend my last 24 hours of 2020 in #gratitude. Shall be sending notes & wishing love, peace, and wellbeing to every person I'm grateful for, this year. Probably starting now. It's (almost) Jan 1st, somewhere... #NewYearsEve
