a noiseless patient spider: the flows of wisdom & recognition (55:37)
Updated: Sep 26, 2021
Here I present a model for how intuition calibrates & evolves over time. I apply the concept to the Buddha's 2nd noble truth & use a spider on its web to represent mindful presence grounded in the heart. We may feel frustrated as we try to get better, try to get wiser, only to find our trying doesn't yield much, & sometimes backfires. I use these complementary cycles and the spider metaphor as a framework for understanding the value of patience, faith, diligence, experimentation, forgiveness, & letting go.
