Dear Mari

i am glad you are feeling calmer. Do you think it is the mantra... does it help when you use it?

yesterday i used a modified version of your mantra. i also cut out extra words but kept release and attachment - i think they are important because they oppose each other semantically. so the coupling homes in on the mental work to be done... (free interpretaition from your local quacky wacky waves.)

i tried to think of other couplings too, but none came. i was not in a state of brilliance after work shall we say. nor during, i might add. i was missing beats, lots.

ok so my modified version, when i came out of work feeling... *everything* (but not good) was:

I release my attachment to feeling ok.

the trick now will be to use it often enough.

LOL. now i don't know if that is such a healthy release. but it was like, ok, life can go on without my being ok. i mean i have been not-ok long enough and the world at large doesn't seem any worse off.
