Inquisitive

Awww.... He called you Sunshine? Do you wish you had someone like that in your life now? It's hard for me to let go of that particular kind of attention. I keep wanting it from others....

Part of it is a longing to go home - or a place where love beauty and a reverence for all things is abundant and manifested every day in every way. Where ever that is - is where I want to be - both without and within - me. I also have a deep reverence for trees and the way they are presented in that pic seems to embody my feeling. My objective these days is to find that "place" within me. [shrug]

Ache inside - eh? Was it the trees? Or the girl?

Funny. That's what I was thinking about you! Even with the time difference 2am is either very late or very early. :tongue1: I woke up. Couldn't sleep. Sometimes I use my phone to check on the forum and see if it's blown up... One never knows. :crazy:

Hello!!! How are you?

Foolish?!?!? :lol: I suppose it depends upon what you're contemplating for a new job. Well...actually...now that I think about that ...who am I to say what anyone else thinks is important to them - is foolish. oth - I am the Goddess Fool - at the moment. I should know it when I see it - right?! Hahahahahahhaha. ...hmmm. I'm curious....I hope the pieces fall together for you!

I like how you say "so that I can spend myself on other things". Very profound statement.... Feeling the strong need to be at liberty is what's been driving me for the last year. Shedding all of the baggage in one's life in order to accomplish this goal is more difficult than I thought it would be. Strangely, tho, the Universe has been helping by removing the loves in my life from my life. Some by death. Others by circumstance. When I look at it from that perspective it gives me chills....

What will Liberty do for you?

Anyway. I hope you gain something for your self from the website. Jack Kornfield is great for beginners of insight meditation if you run across his publications.

Meditation - eh? Have you ever looked into Insight Meditation (called Vipassana)? There is a website called Dharma Seed that offers free talks and some guided meditations that I go to weekly. Most of the teachers are from the Western culture, hold non religious views, and present their material from an understanding of what it's like to grow up as we did. I have found them enormously helpful in my journey. Recently this talk resonated deeply in my heart and is helping me in my quest to heal from my fear of abandonment: http://www.dharmaseed.org/teacher/86/talk/15465/ Maybe you could peruse the site and find a talk that peaks your curiosity. That's what I do when I go there. Sometimes I choose randomly and I'm surprised at how often what I hear makes me think...

Ooo....quitting your job? Risky business in the current economic climate. You must be at the phase in life of seeking meaning, purpose, and satisfaction with what you actually do as a human being. :) What are you contemplating?

So what in life has grabbed your attention these days?

Actually I never get tired of receiving feedback from my posts. There are a lot of reasons behind the thinking - some are based in logic - like am I on the right track - do I make sense. And then there's my insecurity of not being good enough or worthy - and reps like yours help give me balance to the lie that creeps up on me. So....keep 'em coming - if you like! :tongue: Thank you very much Inquisitive. :love: I hope you get something positive for you from my words.

You are a sweet one, Inquisitive. Thank you for making me feel good this evening!

Oh myyy.....you'd have to look through the last 2 or 3 pages of my thread to get a good picture of what's been happening in my life. Long story - short - I'm going through the process of grieving many losses as if life is forcing me to shed a bunch of baggage: my home - loved ones - ideas - and harmful self beliefs. The fires of loss are hardening the diamond of me. I WILL be ok....just not right now.
