I was reading an email from my wonderful
wise sister-in-law today, us contemplating how much changes. How easy it is to
feel out of control, feel loss, as what we have enjoyed and valued, that then
is no longer. It seems to me this is one of those trick questions, right? Where
you can either spend your time miserable over and over again, as things change
(which they always do and always will do), or filled with the sadness and then
the pleasure of what we have been filled with , in our lives.
Trick question; trick pony, it's not easy.
Especially when things become older/more challenged/ more limited. Especially
sooner than we had 'planned' or thought or imagined or hoped. But still, here
we are, in our lives, empty lonesome days or days with a little spark right
there on the precipice of our own awakening. To how it simply is like this, and
always has been.
The old ways, of resting in what is.
Resting in your breath, right now. Resting in the sadness and the loss of the
every coming and going and gone.
Filled with the richness and the aloneness
and the would have/could have/should have, and then settling down into the gift
we are given today.
