i just felt this resonated with me well
I like this passage from The Power of Kabbalah: "We also have a lingering deep-seated fear that our happiness will eventually end. When we find ourselves in a rare state of contentment and serenity, we have a negative tendency to believe it's too good to be true. We worry about tomorrow. And the moment these doubts creep in, the instant we begin to worry about how long our happiness will last, we run out of Light. We lose the connection. Light is therefore also defined as the comfort, security, and peace of mind of knowing that happiness will still be with us tomorrow. When we are connected to the Light, we have no fear, anxiety, or insecurity about the future."
This was interesting to me because I could relate so much to what was being described in this paragraph about fearing happiness will end. To the point that I couldn't even be happy about something to begin with. It's still a problem sometimes. I am often afraid to let myself be happy. I'm reminded of a song by Will Young, "Leave Right Now" and my favorite line: "If I lose the highs, at least I'm spared the lows."
Well anyway, about to go to Kaya for Kabbalah.
Laters.
