To life’s quest, one of the biggest obstacle is attachment.
And one of the greatest accomplishment is detachment.
Not only to our possessions but to our beliefs and values.
Looking and searching for reasons, in so many avenues.
And before we can look at our own notions we already see.
That to just go along with others attitudes and opinions seems so easy.
But these things we cling to narrow the view we hold of ourselves and others.
They encourage us to be self seeking, to continuously search for answers.
In the silence of your self, acknowledge everything that has been in your life.
Then empty yourself of things no longer helpful in this time.
Don’t listen to anyone but you as you put all things that disappoint to a rest.
So you can fully embrace each moment, each day life brings at its best.

Attachment - an obstacle

    Sweet… truth…. ways..
    and it seems no other that this one..
    to let Soul grow..
    and Self.. Ego.. diminish in Light..
    But both.. serve to our existence..
    and attatchment..
    may be..
    it is so..
    as clinging to mother“s breast..
    How could kill the new born baby..
    inside the Self?
    inside the Soul?
    Not killing.. no..
    just loving attachment..
    and detachment..
    so both..
    same coin..
    You and Me …
    come and …
    go.

    Thank you Jacqueline.. I used to find it hard, but understanding the reason of being attached, and accepting to let go really helps..

    Rosa…. thank you for your shared profound thoughts on this.. This too, was written over a couple of years.. A self realization I guess you could say.
