Attachment

Ever thought about the things/people you are attached to? You nurture and take care of them. You feel the connection is so strong that when it ends, as all things do, there is a great loss and disappointment. All the while before the end there is this fear of the loss which affects the enjoyment of what you have. The fear of the loss makes you think that it is not possible to live without this attachment. After the loss an amount of suffering occurs, a struggle of acceptance of it.

Is it possible to go beyond all the fear and loss? Maybe not in every way but it is possible to lessen it by accepting that all things end and not to get to attached to things for we really don’t own anything in the larger sense it all came to us. Then when we have them we can really enjoy what we have rather than worrying and suffering after the loss. Indeed, letting go of things does not make you lose these things rather value them for what they are for the time they are with you.

There is a sense of inner peace that comes from this thought. All these years we collect things and meet people, they pass our way and what we do with them is the important thing for this is where the real meaning is found.

Be you???

I believe in the idea of reform on many levels. I think stagnation leads to corruption in society and the individual because life and people are dynamic in nature, things change whether negatively or positively but the aim is the latter. Some people think this means there is no acceptance of things especially of the self. They would tell me to be just be myself, don’t change myself. Yet, this matter is not about changing oneself or not accepting for believing in development is part of who I am.

So you see I am being myself.

Inspiration

The brain bogged down with its own stagnation
Ruminating in an endless negative loop
Trying to find a new path
Dark storm clouds
Sun beams break through
Golden beams give warmth
Lightening the wet cold self
Sipping to every corner to every pore
Energized by the splendor
Brilliance burns though self
Igniting dreams
Now equipped causing ripples
Awakened by inspiration

The irony of “what if”

The “what if” of the past can drive a person crazy. What if I did this? What if I didn’t do this? Could it have changed anything or made things better? Guilt, regrets, helplessness, frustration, etc. mingle in a never ending negative loop pulling the person down the hole of the permanent past.

On the other hand, the “what if” of the future is full of potential. It is the “what if” possibilities, the options, the choices, life, the thoughts that generate hope, enthusiasm, and a path that leads to positive ends.
