Life is suffering... suffering is caused by attachment... my apologies to my mentor in this because I can't remember the rest at the moment and right now I don't care
( Read more... )
I missed this, having fallen far far behind on LJ over the last week... but you know well I understand the pain you felt.
It's amazing what's come through on the other side, isn't it? :)
But it's worth noting -- the pain was worth it, not for what you were attached to, but for what happened when you finally found peace with the idea of not getting it. Yes, things worked out wonderfully in the end -- but they would NOT have had the peace not already been there.
Yes, the universe is a strange, quirky, backward place; just when we think we have it figured out, it throws us a curveball. And I'm glad you're the type who LEARNS when that smacks you in the noggin'.
Last three years, I've worked with a bakers dozen of healers and a handful of therapists.
I've learned since having to let go of my child, my familiar, my family, and everything that was good about my former life that there is little in this world that could hurt worse than that. Yet, I'm still here. I survived, and the growth from that survival has prepared me for the moments when I might need that impressive sense of survival again.
I know to trust the survival.
But... the universe keeps surprising the hell out of me with the kinds of gifts it will bestow as a reward for learning to roll with the punches.
