I have just completed reading The Call....Dear Oriah<br />I have just completed reading The Call... Thank you. The last six months have been very difficlut emotionally, and your book is the last book that I have completed reading, yesterday. It has reeally helped me with coming to a place acceptance of my situation. At work, I just practiced what I understood as a 'non-doing'... stopped myself reacting, did something different to what i would usually do - and it was the right action... Thank you.<br /><br />Zenariah in Cape TownZenariahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09676182436138364238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524364334037666877.post-15150196368224271342012-02-04T21:16:20.590-05:002012-02-04T21:16:20.590-05:00Takako Ka, thanks for the good wishes- although as...Takako Ka, thanks for the good wishes- although as I said in the piece my spirits are good. Our culture equates hopelessness with being emotionally distraught- but for me, as Pema describes, it is about freedom from continually trying to predict or control the unpredictable or uncontrollable. So I am in good cheer :-) OriahOriahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13153842083329682011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3524364334037666877.post-87681490474580041192012-02-04T20:40:15.106-05:002012-02-04T20:40:15.106-05:00Hello Oriah, I just finished reading your book aga...Hello Oriah, I just finished reading your book again after many years -The Dance.

It is indeed tough for us control-freaks to accept impermanence and go with the flow and "relax into the hopelessness" of this. I keep telling myself all the time "Oh for Goodness sake will you just shut up, breathe and relax! You can't controll every bloody thing and you sure can't control others to hurry up with their decisions only just because you have already come up with a decision what's best for everyone." Sometimes I really do wish to make the grass grow quicker LOL instead of simply, just for one tiny moment, relaxing into what IS and be fine with it.<br />Thank you for helping me relax with your blogs!<br />Lotsa Love, SabineSabinehttp://www.walking-with-angels.denoreply@blogger.com
