Living
Posted in Articles on 04/25/2010 02:26 pm by ShaziaThe narrative loosens – the story of the self, its meaning and connection with events – and what has been and what will be. Wishing does not make it so. And yet. I can still feel the remnants of desire – will that fade and shrink too? Now that the outcome has been released like a 100 colorful balloons into a faraway distance. I held on tight and dreamed of flying with the balloons… but now I am.
Content with just Being. Each moment pregnant with possibility. THIS IS LIVING. Unfolding.
My unconscious drama manifests in life events until I can see clearly again. Right now that clarity is a misty haze – I see shades and form but no details. I see an expansive self – connected, less fearful. A lot less expectant and imposing. Waiting and ready for the moment to unfold and reveal the opportunities rather than chase them – altering their presence with my demands and expectations.
A voice says: Do what’s asked of you – listen to your Truth and act. Perhaps the moments between the doing are just as lubricated with opportunity because there is within that Stillness, a space that gives rise to Truth.
There is no right or wrong, just consequences. Whether it’s a separation from connectedness, a malignant virus of doubt – or an expansive sense of Oneness, it depends fully on my intent.
And that is derived completely from the quality of my attention.
What is faith? What is god? Does he exist? I don’t know…
But how I live this life is a choice.
