By “this guy” they mean Randall Park who has since had guest spots in a bunch of sitcoms, starred in Fresh Off the Boat and was in Ant Man and the Wasp.
𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐬 🌔 here’s the special print available exclusively for anyone who pre-orders NIMA. Working on Nima’s book has made me tap into a nostalgic and peaceful place in my heart. 2 more days!
Okay not to be petulant but I don’t understand advice that’s like, “To be close to God, sit and close your eyes and dwell in silence for 5-10 minutes!”
How does anyone focus by doing that???? How?????? Do people keep their mind on one thing?????? While sitting still in silence???????? Do you know what happens when I try to sit in silence and focus on one thing????? My thoughts overlap and knock into each other and go flying every which way like a pinball machine and I go from thinking about God and the blessings He has put in my life to wondering what brand of lemon creme cookies my great grandma would give me when I was four to wondering if I remembered to fill my dog’s water
“Just concentrate!” Do you think I’m not trying to????? Do you think I want to feel like a bad Christian for not being about to “soak in the silence” and focus on God the entire time??? It’d be a lot easier to concentrate if I was pacing around the room talking aloud to God and honestly talking aloud makes me feel far more connected to God than silence because I’m able to keep my thoughts in control by focusing on what I’m saying aloud
Is it normal to be able to sit in silence, not doing anything, and keep your thoughts focused on one particular subject?????
I cant really sit and do that either. My mind wonders off. Instead I’ve found I’m best at talking to him or just trying to think over what to do and well “listen” to him when I’m doing something simple that I like.
Like I have basically a garden in my room I care for that when I’m tending to it I’ll talk to him out loud. Or if him taking a good walk outside. Or just something simple in a more quiet or at least peaceful environment where I’m still moving and engaging with things but it’s not consuming my attention to the point that it would be hard to focus on both things at once.
Some people may be able to just sit down and “listen” and that’s them. But its certainly not for everyone.
Heck my mom often says she hear things from him or gets feelings from him when doing stuff like driving.
Driving helps me too!! I like talking aloud to Him in the car. Also I read your tags and I relate to that too! I used to have a shoebox full of origami shurikens that I would make out of the church program (the part that would just be thrown away) in order to be able to focus on what the pastor is saying, and I still often do that or doodle so that I can listen and not zone out
a quick sketch of Princess Yue I’d like to flesh out and render into a full piece soon!! I love her. I wish i could leave a man to save a fish and become the moon incarnate
