Awareness

Can I be aware of both — the child I was and the parent I have become?

Awareness here is not analysis. It is double vision — seeing the child and the parent in the same body at the same time.

Most adult suffering is the parent overriding the child, or the child running the parent's calendar.

Awareness is the room where they finally meet.

Reflection

  • — Which of my parts is louder today — the child or the parent?
  • — What would change if I let them speak to each other instead of through me?
