"You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves."!!!!! Our ashtanga teacher used to read this to us before meditation at retreat in Cornwall. Gave me such comfort.
Hi Gabriela. It's lovely to hear your musings from Australia. I wonder if you have yet encountered the work of Miriam Ungunmerr Bauman? She is an Aboriginal elder who teaches the way of dadirri or deep listening: http://dadirri.org.au/
