Good? Bad? Who Knows?

David Oromith · 28 minutes · recorded April 21, 2024

In the subtle mindfulness of breathing practice we track the sensation of air at the nostrils and sharpen attention with each in breath while relaxing further with each out breath. David shares the story of the king, his amputated finger and the doctor's shrugging reply, using it to question how quickly we label events as good or bad before we know how they will unfold. He reflects on setbacks from his own life, including his depression, that later turned out to serve him.
