A nice blog post from Figs (Fiachra O’Sullivan) in SF:

I just love how down to earth this guy is. Love his use of language.
Love his simple guidelines for folks.
He has three steps to help people come to their senses:
1. Notice your reactivity ASAP
2. Become curious about what’s happening inside you
3. Share it the moment you’re able
But I would add a couple other steps in there:
1a. Breathe; take some deep breaths
1b. Feel your feelings
I like how the focus is on yourself and how you can share about yourself, and what your experience says about you. It’s a different sort of consciousness. It’s about sharing rather than struggling.

Like everyone, I have different sides. Counselor, photographer, writer, cooker of food – both spicy and plain, and seeker of truth and happiness. I have always taken an interest in the unassuming things that pass us by – both heard and seen, both ordinary and not so ordinary. They are all sacred and beautiful in some way.
