“Whenever we are brave enough to create the time to go
slowly, i mean really, really, REALLY slowly into our Pain
– be it physical pain, emotional pain, or mental pain –
we are granted inSights which begin to purify that Pain
thus bringing Transformation of it.”

accordingly to Wikipedia, the word Picnic means:
PICNIC is an acronym which stands for “Problem In Chair, Not In Computer”.
“It is most commonly used by experts to describe to one another that the problem was not in the computer but was instead caused by the user operating it.”

based upon my own lifetime of pain, i observed that many people try to turn Pain into a Picnic, instead of a Warrior’s Chance To Rise Above. in other words, it’s not the Vehicle of Pain that is the “problem,” rather it is the Driver Within The Vehicle that has to step up and look within to reDisCover their innate Tools and Strengths and Wisdom to transform the Pain.
instead of looking within however, we often default to externals; drugs, surgery, pills, various doctors and healers, blah, blah, blah. we have become habituated to looking outside our selves for the ‘answer’ to our pains. thus, in a sense, we’ve made Pain our picnic; an endless smorgesbord of Seeking instead of buckling down, looking within, and FINDING!

oh, the actual meaning of picnic relates to “pick” and refers to “a weapon and a fish.”

have an Inner Picnic from your strength and spirit today!

and question EVERYTHING!
even the word “picnic” and realize that EVERY WORD, EVERY THOUGHT, EVERY BEING
leads right back to the miraculous interweaving of Dharma.

om so ti…
