Cynicism Recidivism (or zero f*cks to give)

Our practice always shows us where we’re stuck. If we pay attention, we’re always shown where we’re being a little too rigid or perhaps too slack. Of late, I’ve been suffering from the NYC affliction: cynicism and hardness. And while I know that those afflictions can be present and I don’t need to BE cynicalContinue reading “Cynicism Recidivism (or zero f*cks to give)”
