Baby cries
Bumblebee bumbles
Murmured conversations
Intermittent laughter
Fresh cut grass
Chair rocks
Breathe in, slow deep
Exhale
Siren, ambulance rushes
Watch it pass
Breathe in, slow deep
Exhale
Chair rocks
Thinking of thinking
Let it go
Memories, feelings arise
Observe them
Let them go
Heart slows
Breathe
Anxiety exhaled
Not me
Sadness on the wind
Blows over me
Not me
Let it go
See the motion
Watch from stillness
Enlightenment
No
But it is better than crazy as a run over dog
Sounds soothing for the soul. 🙂
They have good peac ice cream there. Thank you for playing. 🙂
Enlightenment is illusive…
I think it may be just understanding profoundly that its all gonna be alright.
Or maybe knowing that it already is and has always been alright
Does that change the trajectory of the story?
Maybe so. Maybe though we can be still enough to tell the real story. The one that is trying to manifest in us and creating the tension
Rather than using the knowledge that it will all be ok to justify not doing the inner work that needs to be done?
I think the inner work is required in order to know not just think or believe or hope but know
Yet, sadly, how many of us skip over this part, or are actively resistant to it… HL is a good example of that. Can’t convince him there is much good under the rubble of his childhood if he were to just remove enough junk. I think that is where he will find his passion for life.
Its goes against the programming and is not taught even in church much
You have to be open to learning. HL spent a year in counseling on his own and nada. The old saying goes, when the student is ready, the teacher will come. I’m wondering where that teacher is. But it’s not my journey, it’s his. I guess since we have free will we always have the right to send them away.
Much of counseling is not about the soul.
Did you even deal with that part in your education? I know the counselor I saw after mom died didn’t, and it was like she just cut a hunk out of me. It was almost pointless to see her. Maybe the same thing with HL.
I think its more about the counselor’s own self. If they have not done their own work they can not help someone else do it.
Seems like you put your time today to good use. The only thing missing was a mint julep. (Or a whiskey sour with a beer chaser — my personal favorite. 🙂 ) It’s a nice peace. Calming, but active, if that makes any sense.
