non-attachment

grateful for everything that showed up in my life today
even just for today.

if tomorrow i see them not, i will be alright.
i will rejoice and forever be grateful for the today i have.

i can do this.

...it takes great courage to allow myself to be open to the generosity of others.

...why?

...the one leaf

focus...

...nothing else matters...

Don’t give yourself away.
Work quietly on your weaknesses,
develop a reserve and mystery,
be organized and self-sufficient,
and keep your life to yourself.

Consume less, stay in control,
be at one with your inner self and nature.
Purifying your life, constantly skimming, cleaning,
throwing things out, simplifying.

(Stuart Wilde)

sometimes, some good soul come along, and you feel like you've known them forever; like you're already great friends before you met.
the conversations feel like plain catching up...no judgment, just the simple intention of knowing each other's situation, offering comfort, support, understanding and often times comic relief.

no need to impress, not even words...
just the felt presence of somebody who truly cares.

just like the movies...

hope springs eternal.

Let us not be corrupted by the traditions of men from the
simplicity that is in Christ.

loving kindness...

may this be the theme of my day,

even just for today.

namaste.
