Being filled, self bursts. Being emptied, self is no more. Knowing one is only and always already made of this air, enjoy your ballon. Float and feel the buoyancy, being one with this air.

OOO, I love it! You put such a smile on everyone's faces at those balloon parties, don't you? . How fitting, Melody, that you can make so much joy, just playing with air... ..and making love out of nothing at all. Enjoying being this nothing with you. Hey, here's looking at you, kid. No fear, no resistance. By golly, we are free at last!!! .... am so glad life carried us to this moment together.

Notice that the more we open to "All That Is", how we tend to 'lighten up' ? Notice that the lighter we become, the more apt we are to allow Existence to carry us wherever She leads us..... and the less the resistance to the flowing? Notice how more easily Life carries us from one moment to another? Well, here's a little something for you, Glo...my 'soaring' buddy, who's also a kid at heart....: http:/// lightly, Melody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
