can we.

I think of patterning these days, of how our actions and thoughts are shaped by numberless factors coming together and falling apart. in yoga land called samskaras or sankharas in pali.

and the most painful pattern, I heard someone say, is the one we know very well, but cannot help but repeat.

so, can we establish a baseline from where to act, that is rooted in contentment, rather than its opposite. a baseline of courage, of friendliness. so that the patterning unfolds on another ground. can we contribute to those forces that build and fuel patterning in a way that leads to other results than the way we know and repeat again and again? and can we be specific in that?
