~reflection~

 Come as you are. 

Embracing my 'somebody-ness' when it shines through during parts of the journey.

I am learning to love this part of myself, mask & all!

~attachment~

 

"I am awfully greedy; I want everything from life. I want to be a woman and to be a man, to have many friends and to have loneliness, to work much and write good books, to travel and enjoy myself, to be selfish and to be unselfish... You see, it is difficult to get all which I want. And then when I do not succeed I get mad with anger."

As Ram Dass so eloquently put, "Don't get lost in the detail; let your awareness go free." 

~He makes it sound so easy!~

But the truth is, getting out of our own minds and narratives is just practice. Conscious daily practice of trying to see ourselves living within our masks and trying to be a 'somebody.' As it would turn out, that 'somebody' can be a cause of great suffering. Holding onto an image of who we think we are or who we wish we could be, an eternal attachment to a storyline over which we have no control over.

Look within. Be bold. Have the courage to let the narrative go...

Radiating love & light,
