It was one of those days; busy. It’s after 6:00 PM here in Honolulu and, while there’s still some daylight, I managed not to go for a ride today. It’s okay though, I rode both Saturday and Sunday, so I’m not feeling too guilty.
Instead, after work, I attended a great regular online meditation group. I’m not usually one to tout this teacher or that one, but in this case, I’ll make an exception and tout both this one and that one.
Devon and Craig Hase are a couple, and a couple of great meditation leaders, both individually and as a team. I met Craig earlier this year in early January when he was visiting Honolulu. He sat with us at the Aloha Sangha and led a half-day workshop I attended. I’ve kept in touch and he has become one of my mentors in my own practice.
Well, one thing led to another and soon COVID-19 was upon us. Devon and Craig’s book came out, and their book tour was canceled. I’d actually hoped to catch up to them in person in Colorado in June, but alas, that’s not happening.
In any case, I spent an hour after work sitting with their Monday online sangha and, prime biking time though it was, am probably better for it. Tomorrow look’s good bike-wise, but I won’t be foregoing meditation either.
But what’s that hot mess thing you ask? Well, Devon and Craig’s book, “How Not To Be a Hot Mess,” is why. It’s a really accessible and knowledgeable book on, um, not being a mess, hot or otherwise. Just go read it, I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Slower, cheaper, less useful…
