sinking like a rock
Edited on Thu Oct-11-07 11:48 PM by Southpawkicker
sizzling brain cells

what a year this has been

what a month this has been

wonderful things

sad things

stressful things

Sometimes I just dunno...

do you relate?

If not, that's fine.

I'm letting go...

hard as hell

but that's all we ever do is let go sometimes slowly
sometimes quickly

A friend used to say "everyone lets go, it may be 3 seconds before they take their last breath, but everyone lets go eventually"

I am not in control. I don't know who is.

peace people

:hi:

3. I wish...
...I had some words of wisdom for you; but I'm still not completely in control of my life. What I can offer is what I alway offer, a hug. :hug:

7. Out of control is not necessarily a bad thing.
For you tonight, three quotes by the amazing Rumi.

“This is love: to fly toward a secret sky, to cause a hundred veils to fall each moment. First to let go of life. Finally, to take a step without feet.”

“Try and be a sheet of paper with nothing on it.
Be a spot of ground where nothing is growing,
where something might be planted,
a seed, possibly, from the Absolute.”

“Days of wanting.
Let them go by without worrying
that they do.
Stay where you are
inside such a pure, hollow note.”

:hug:

10. Surrendering and giving up are different things.
Letting go is a good thing, it creates space. I hope that any drama and distraction go the way of the Dodo and that you find a new level of peace and strength.
