I haven’t met Lynn J Kelly (yet) but do consider her a spiritual friend and teacher. I haven’t met Martine Batchelor (yet) but consider her, and her husband Stephen, spiritual mentors and teachers.
And so, I can highly recommend the blogpost below. May you be edified and encouraged by it as I have.
Life Matters 
Love this: ” When we make it past the barrier of “I can’t do this”, we are well on the way. ” Whatever
this” is, I might add. ❤️

What a perfect comment, Camilla. Martine Batchelor informs us in her book, LET GO – A Buddhist Guide to Breaking Free of Habits (c) 2007 Wisdom Publications:
“I went to my Zen Master, Kusan Sunim, to ask his advice. He told me … I should return to my object of meditation, which, in the Korean Zen Tradition, was the question ‘What is this?'”

Interesting! When my hub fell off the roof two years ago, and I began, just barely began, to contemplate and reel from the panoply of possible outcomes as we awaited paramedics, I told myself, “This is what we’re doing now. Whatever this is, it’s what we’re doing now.” This helped me cope, and while I am still asking myself the question, it has never occurred to me to hold “What is this?” as an object of meditation. Thank you, Patrick. I will do so now. For surely, it is more (and less) than I often perceive it to be.
