A Facebook friend refers to her "surrendering" as a salubrious surrender! Healthful and joyful surrendering!
Much of the time I am there and intentionally moving to such a state.
Some of the time the dark thoughts and feelings emerge and are needed to be wrestled with.
Interesting enough what I keep coming back to is something like: "Oh, I no longer need to put energy into that . . . ." then a sigh and refocus.
My whole journey seems to be a metaphor for my life.
Scraping off the toxic asbestos layers of flooring in the GGG (by-the-by, asbestos tiles are out and Marmoleum is in). So much like scraping off the old toxic belief systems, dependencies, attachments such that new healthier foundational standings can be installed.
And, as with dealing with the asbestos, gloves, water for keeping the dust down, putting tiles in a black plastic bag, having a tarp underfoot, etc. All designed to keep the toxins from spreading around.
Yes, how to keep the toxic waste contained? Good things my friends and family are compassionate, caring, and forgiving! Thank you, All. Ho, O-pano o-pano o-pano!
Grant that the reprogramming is something less akin to DOS and more to OS X or Android. Easier to change and fewer chances for viruses, worms, or spam!
Oh, oh, now that I think of it I have all 3 of those operating systems working deep inside of me. What other ones are there? Too many to tell.
Time to simplify . . . and that is what I am all about right now. That is my intention. The fine-tuning of my rig, The GGG on the back of Hummmmmmmm requires lots of sorting, discarding, and organizing. And, what is my intention? Traveller, vacationer, artist, musician, writer, bum?
I consider myself to be an itinerate helper. Have tools, will travel! Have a need, call on Scott!
Having hours of free time each day to read, relax, or even take a nap. Refreshing.
Knowing that all of that was possible in the past taxing events reminds me to keep on remembering, Be Here Now! Stop, breathe, and relax! Sink into my bones! Festina Lente!!!
Sleep like a dog, sit like a turtle, and walk like a duck! Ancient Taoist Wisdom for Longevity.
Keeping my eye on the road, my mind on driving, and my hands on the wheel. Concentrated times for developing Oneness.
Wrestling with a busy mind and coming back to NOW. What else is there to do?
Yes, Salubrious Surrender!
Shedding layers and layers of beliefs, attachments, and dreams. Streamlining. And, as the shedding occurs so do the related feelings and thoughts emerge . . . to once again be processed. Each processing like a bath of warm water on a cold night, washing away layers of garb! Of old clothes, comfortable to wear but no longer fitting the self!
So, out with some of the old and in with some more colorful healthful garb!
