Thank you for this article. One of the jerk like things I do is not responding to wonderful articles like this one. Actually it is something I have been thinking about. You have just given me a bit of extra push. You indicated that you are considering creating an online course. I have a suggestion you might consider creating a course for insight timer. It is a great free app with lots of free meditation related stuff. Paid subscribers can follow online courses. I think you would be a good fit. I follow courses from many different teachers and would be quite happy to add you to those I follow. I would likely sign up for a course from you on Medium. However if you published on insight timer that changes to I will sign up.

Hey Jim!

Thanks for your feedback, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I often feel the same. I might read an article I really like then forget to or refrain from showing my appreciation. It’s easy to do nowadays with so much content online. That’s what I like about what Dogen is saying. It’s not about holding ourselves up to some unrealistic ideals or beating a jerk version of ourselves up. It’s about waking up to these ideas and taking each moment as it comes. Nice idea about insight timer!

Happy holidays!
