| I feel like I have entered a stage in my life whereby I have let go of the will to fight. No longer wanting to consciously be a part of the battle, the entire mental image of fight in life is almost appalling. What is, is. What comes, comes. I watch this internal struggle, not wanting to be an active (or re-active) participant in the fight. I see it, I recognize it and I am witness to it. My whole life I've known nothing but pushing. Pushing myself and others, and now i feel like I care for fighting less & pushing less. It feels strange to me, yes. I suppose because I am so used to being an active (or re-active) participant. This time I am minding my mind. My heart here, says one thing my mind sometimes it says another and I can begin to see that this is the root of the struggle. It feels foreign, I must admit. To be a silent witness. But I've learnt through these experiences that I can be who I am without fighting. And you can be who you are without me fighting. And we can be who we are, without fighting. |
An online marketplace for selling and buying all things handmade!
It's like shopping at the artists market, but from your own home.
I discovered the website just in time for Christmas and along with my
trip to Blue Banana Market in Toronto, have managed to get almost everyone on
my list home made gifts.
Every morning, when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift!
We have the capacity to live in a way that these twenty-four hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness
to ourselves and others.
Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see.
The Question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We don't have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky.
We don't have to leave our city or even our neighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. Even the air we
breathe can be a source of joy.
We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness
that is available. We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years
for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive at the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.
Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. We need only to be awake, alive in
the present moment. ... Thich Nhat Hanh

post a commentNo point fighting it. You always lose anyway. When there is no resistance to and escape from loneliness, loneliness will cease to be loneliness.
I'm not sure where you got that I was feeling loneliness from my post. Life is so much lighter without the weight of the fight of life.
Anyways, no winning or losing in my bubble of existence.
There is no one who is lonely. But the world is full of loneliness.
