Guest guest Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 I'm getting old......and all this thought about there being or not being a self is getting older. I don't care any more...if there is or if there isn't. All the thinking seems now to be a very clever way to avoid being a fully alive and open human being....a safe place to hide in the conceptual storm. It seems that which the self fears the most is its own expansion into the edgelessnss and will develop strategies to keep itself confined to its own little kingdom. I have been playing the love card recently.......allowing this mind to reach out into the unknown......catching an eye here.....a smile there....consoling a loss.....sharing a birth.....and something seems to reach back and embrace who I am. A chord has been struck......the confluence of thought flows easily back into itself....... Let the dance begin. toombaru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The diminishment of shyness, is also the diminishment of interest in seeking out others. The disappearance of shyness, is to be everything, and nothing, and for what happens, to happen. This is the way it is. It can't be changed. --- End forwarded message --- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
