going up in flames and, and the only thing that we're allowed to do is to be anxious and preoccupied and caught up in it and, and or feeling guilty that we're not doing enough and, you know, and just in this world, a swirl of of thoughts and ideas. And that you know, to stop, to quiet the mind to pause, and to notice the details of our life that we can appreciate the particular things that go on and what's here for us right in front of us in here and present, to take the time to go shopping, to, to notice the checkout clerk, and to notice and appreciate the person and take time just to notice and see, can you you're not gonna let the person know you're doing this, but can you take in the person, so they are not just a, you know, take them for granted. So it might as well be a robot, but really to take in the, this is a human being with a background history and challenges and joys and, and really kind of take in and try to get a fuller sense of the person so that there can be some appreciation not after all the person is doing a service for you. So a crowded mind has very little room for joy, a mind that is not crowded with thoughts and ideas, has a lot of room for a lot of things. And, and delight, appreciation, gratitude and joy is what I want to emphasize today. And for this week. There could also be the protests that it's selfish, and self centered to be involved in joy and, and there's so much suffering in the world. And so, you know, we should be cut serious and maybe suffer ourselves because of it. And, and not really allow ourselves to feel joy. on the path to the liberation from Joy's beautiful path. It is a path that allows us to really feel and experience suffering much more strongly, more openly, strongly, members not to read word read more clearly. And we as the practice deepens, most people who do this meditation practice, become much more sensitized, aware and open to experience the suffering around them, and also to experience our own suffering and deeper way and fuller way. So what I'd like to propose is that the ability to be open to joy open to delight is exactly the same ability to be open to suffering in a useful way. It's kind of like it's the same door in our heart. And whether we want to be make sure that door can swing open, and the hinges are well lubricated. And it's easy to open. And, and, and so if you learn to do that for joy, then the doors also learning to do it for suffering. If we're learning to do for suffering, then appreciate how that open doors opening. There's non resistance, non clinging, non resentment non pushing away, it's just openness to it. And then as we go through our lives, without the mind being crowded, that open door policy that we have in our hearts, when you see a beautiful bowl, that was a gift on your counter kitchen counter, then there's joy and delight and happiness in that. And when you see when you encounter someone who's suffering, then there's compassion for that. When you're walking down the street, and you see, you know, someone that you'd maybe you don't know, but you know, the person greets you. And so you offer your your open door offers a greeting back and goodwill and friendliness. And so this ability to have the doors open, this is what allows for these things to go on. So rather than focusing on needing to be delightful and appreciate appreciating and grateful or needing to be compassionate, the mindfulness practice, has no need of what we're supposed to be, has no requirement you're supposed to be loving or compassionate. What mindfulness is about out is noticing where we're stuck where the door doesn't open, and helping us to relax and open to release. So the doors of the heart can swing open easily and anytime. And then we can talk more seriously about and if that's the right word more seriously, about joy about rejoicing.
