Eben, I got a good chuckle from “sometimes the best that I can hope for is to be able to lovingly wave goodbye to myself as I watch myself go over the emotional waterfall.” Thanks for sharing this.
I’ve heard it said in other teachings that when this double-awareness is present, we’re still better off than without it, because conscious awareness is present, even as the self get stuck in the quagmire all over again. Presence is a gift, no matter what.
Grateful to be on the journey in this beloved community. – Pamela
