i struggle and i emerge
the face of the lotus open to the sky...
a friend and i were discussing words... i had mentioned that i was focusing upon 'open'... in a mindful, practicing way... she mentioned 'release'... and the synergy of the two struck me powerfully... in fact, i have been thinking upon it for a couple of days...
yes, i can work to be open... but if you are able to release as well (i have been doing an internal debate of the 'which came first' sort - but have come to the conclusion that they are intertwined) the experience is exponentially heightened... think of all of the emotional and psychological space you free up for something positive...
if you can release yourself from fear, from hurt, from anger... release things that you may not even realize reside in your Self, then you can be open to an almost transcendent degree... what if you could imagine each thing, put it in a balloon and let it go? really and truly let it go?
imagine the expansiveness you would experience...
can you put one thing in a balloon today and let the string go? i know i am going to try...
and thank you, dear friend, for your sharing of your self... and for helping me to grow...
