My choices have had to do with exposures... with simply not hiding from what comes up... trust... learning to step out of the cages and wheels when they are opened.
I've found that since the first extended breathing excercize (have returned to it for shorter periods) breathing is 'first' in a sense... I'm very concious of taking/giving, arriving/returning...settling into no-ground as ground. I've considered Shunyru Suzuki's 'swinging door' image quite a bit, and ways in which we construct and deconstruct our 'self' continually.
