letting go

edited July 2006 in General Banter
much like the post of "letting go of ego" a few months back
i am "letting go of a clinging".......so i can grow

i have realized just recently that clinging to outside hinderances
have held me back from dealing with what i need to deal with.

these hinderances have built to become mountains. yet.. mountains
of illusions.!! i have wasted energy and felt totally spent at the end of
the day.. trying to make something real that wasnt real to begin with.
in terms you all may be able to relate to ....... ... i was looking for answers in someone when i was
ignoring what i had to do here at home.. the homework lies in my heart.
the homework lies in being real with what is real.

how wise we think we are.. tehe!! life is interesting..

how easy it is to run .. find an illusion .. and get wrapped up tight in that
illusion.. only to avoid what needs to be done.
it brings suffering in the way of anxiety, depressive moods, disappointment
and most of all..... sadness.

the sadness is real.. sadness is my homework.
i will feel a great deal more of sadness to come.. as i put an end to my marriage.
yet.. by allowing someone else to make me feel sad.. i realize i was hiding in this
to what i need to deal with in my heart/ in my home.

so again.. i "let go" of the clinging to "illusional mountains" ( things that i guess where
never real ) to focus on what i need to do, and where i need to be.

*being in the moment is now my antidote for false hope / and a wandering mind
*personal wisdom of what is important is now my antidote for people who are not able to real to me.
* i hold no regret for my actions.. i hold them dear to my heart.. like no one knows!

again i repeat......... i let go..
in able to grow

maybe im just rambling.. i hope i can help someone along the path as well..

    May peace find you where you are.

    I saw a bumper sticker today
    " We need to be the things that we think need to be changed."

    That's a derivation of that wonderful quotation of Gandhi's...

    'Be the Change you wish to see in the World."

    Thank you, Iawa...

    One of my favourites is:-

    "If you cannot find Love, Peace, Joy and Serenity where you are right now - then where else do you expect to find it?"

    Coleen...Been there, done that. Can relate completely.

    Life is Difficult.

    Through all the ups and downs, always be determined, no matter what, to enjoy the ride.

    Colleen: I know what you feel. It is hard. Time does lessen, however cliche.

    Colleen,

    I've been in your shoes too. Bless your heart!

    I started a thread about a book I've been reading. "Women Who Run With the Wolves" You might consider reading it. I think it might help give you the strength you will need to get through this......I wish it had been out when I was where you are now. I think it would have helped me a lot.

    Hi Colleen,
    I hope you enjoy the book. If you have any questions or want to talk about the book let me know.
    It took me awhile before I could pick it up and read the whole book. I kept getting stuck on the 1st couple of chapters but after that it got much easier. I could really relate to chapters 6-12 I think it was.
    I hope it helps.

    inthedharma,
    Deb
