I wonder, where does it come from, that need of ours to categorize, and judge based on such static and limited information? As I investigate, I find it usually comes from greedy mind, and aversive mind, both looking for hooks to latch on.

"how long have you been married?" "where'd you grow up?" "what do you do for work?" etc., and also how wonderfully liberating it is to NOT ask those questions, and to just take in whatever they're sharing in the moment and find myself nourished by the true-heart connection that can happen, even with (and maybe especially because of) the absence of "data."Stacy (Mama-Om)http://mama-om.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
