How do you think about breakdowns?
I often look at breakdowns as bad and problematic for my long term well-being, but the other day, when reading through Pema Chödröns <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/603849/welcoming-the-unwelcome-by-pema-chodron/">Welcoming the Unwelcome</a>, I stopped to examine the way I approach breakdowns. What if, instead of seeing them as I would see the breakdown of a car, I think about them as the breaking of a wave—just as it is?

How to find ground beneath you

Hi, it's me—the Archivist. Welcome to my personal collection of thoughts and ideas that I hope to remember and appreciate in the future. You're invited to sit with me as I try to integrate my love for learning and research with my experience of the world around me. Perhaps over time, through exploration, I will be able to construct new, detailed information structures that are grounded in presence, mindfulness, and connection with that which may be transcendent. At the very least I aim to appreciate that which I find beautiful.
