Thanks Fia
Nobody is always happy…..they may appear so.
The best we can hope for is to be content with the ‘ way it is’. -

I really like this! Most of us don’t really soak in life how we used to before we had the world in the palm of our hands & information, entertainment & the pretense of connection at our fingertips. Really LIVING a moment has to be much more intentional—a disciplined decision now.

Thanks Ruby for your thoughtful and considered comment.
There are so many things now that are better than before but peace in ourselves is not one of them.
😘

Silence is the strangest thing. I crave it, chase it…& then panic when I bump into it. Sometimes we have to force ourselves to sit still with it. Chaos is more familiar…& therefore sometimes…more comfortable.

Thanks Willow for you’re comment.
The thing about silence,at least for me, is that it connects my mind and body and allows me to see that nothing really matters too much …it’s all impermanent.

Okay, I admit it. You’ve totally hypnotized me.

This is a pondering thought. I think some find it hard to let go. There are those who feel locked in place without a key to release them from the suffering. Then those who are extremely happy all the time it is like an endorphin rush that they crave to reproduce.
Very good, thought-provoking piece.
