Lisa Ray Instagram – Repost from @anahachattaraj using @RepostRegramApp – To live is to feel. And lately i have been feeling everything a bit too much. This morning while I was at a hospital, helping my father go through a test that was making him very stressed out and uncomfortable, I ended up making him laugh and eventually he was able to focus on his breath, calm down and get through the test quite well. In between this I read these appropriate lines from @lisaraniray ‘s amazing book, ‘Close to the Bone’, “Everything can be made spiritual with attention.” . A line her Buddhist nurse said to her, while she was in the middle of a rather testing stem cell transplant. . So many #goosebumps, it transformed the clammyness of this moment in the hospital for me instantly. And that’s when the humor flowed. As did the rest of the test. . . Sometimes living can be uncomfortable, and precarious. But everything can indeed be made spiritual with attention. The art of paying attention to the mundane, and perhaps scary moments, can transform how we look at things, and life it self. . . Tune in. Notice the love around you, even in the middle of chaos and pain. Suddenly its not so bad. . . PS: thankyou @lisaraniray for writing a masterpiece of a book. Each time I read it, it resonated with whatever moment I was in! Last few pages left and its one of those books, I dont want to end🧡 . . . . #hospitalruns #healthchecks #artofliving #spiritualmoment #attentiontodetail #artistsofindia #artistsofkolkata #artcurators #supportlocalartists #artistsoninstagram #kolkata #kolkatacafes #kolkatabylanes #lbbkolkata #kolkata_lanes #art #instadaily #insta #braveart
