Hey - morning for me, so I'll say good morning :)
I have spend most of my life as a "spiritual nerd"
quite a boring guy really, who always switches conversations over to what I want to say.
eventually I realised I was a terrified control freak lol
Its not that my fears or the stories that I bought and sold went away, they haven't
I still catch myself speaking in the language of opinions.
complaining about the world
I do check in on my inner string and to the degree that I am able, I let it be a spring
Where I can not, then I allow it to be whatever it is.
When I am with people I have this little space now, I ask myself, do I really need to "correct" this person or what is the energy behind what I am about to say?
the ole "fear or love" thing has lost its poignancy but not its accuracy.
Our freedom is truly our focus.
the only way to keep our focus is to inhabit our bodies
for that is where our senses are - I guess
Never said it was easy, that is why a caring about others more than self is a real key
its when I finally let go of my "needs" much of which are really distractions from the
horrible yet barely noticed feelings of fear pulling on my string.
