letting go always requires one to feel the pain of attachment. It requires one to head into terra incognito. It also requires one to take responsibility for having chosen to cling to a path of resistance.via TIME TO BE | Feeling Our Way Around by Maggie Barret
.. "nothing really matters" .. by Eileen Cady
Dwell not in the past,
Use it to illustrate a point;
then leave it behind.
nothing
really
matters
except what you do now
In this instant of time.From this moment onward
you can be entirely different person
filled with love and understanding,
ready with an outstretched hand,
uplifted and positive
in every thought and deed.
Recently had an experience that has forced me to reflect on life more than I normally would.
I recently had to abstract my experience down to a txt message, so someone could appreciate and understand what I went through during and after this experience. Here it is:
I saw the generosity, concern and empathy of complete strangers. I saw first hand the diversity, strength and professionalism of our Rescue Services - I'm in awe of them. I saw the importance of life and how fragile our connection is with it.I'm proud of my decisions and my actions that day, I think it helped save someones life.
Due to circumstance and/or privacy laws, it is not possible to thank all those people who helped that day, so I say it here - THANK YOU.
An experience like that makes you reflect a lot and in some ways it was life changing - a spiritual experience actually.
I have dwelt on this for far too long and it has had a bigger impact (both negative and positive, oddly enough) on me than I could ever imagined.
It is now time to acknowledge that it did happen for the first and last time here. And it is also now time to leave it behind. Let it go!!!
And so that is that.
