on sadness

[Guest guest]

Looking back to yesterday, and

how quickly I moved from the

apathetic space I had been resting

in for some weeks.... to a space of

sorrow and lonliness,

 

I received this this timely

meditation 'tip' of the day:

 

"The sadness of life is this:

the emptiness that we try to fill

with every conceivable trick of the mind.

But that emptiness remains.

Its sadness is the vain effort to possess."

 

J. Krishnamurti

 

Melody:

What he says rings so true for me today.

 

It was the desire to fill the emptiness,

and being unsuccessful in my quest, that

created the experience of lonliness....

along with the accompanying pain.

 

Had I continued to simply embrace the

emptiness, I would not have suffered.

 

Love,

Melody
