On need

SylvieMember

There may come a time when in one's life, one remembers that one does not need anything at all. This may only remains a concept until it is experienced. I, for one, used to be dependant on others for many years, thinking and fearing that if let alone I could not keep up with everything that was in my life, in my experience. I have discovered, to my surprise, that the hardest challenge for me so far, has made it possible to experience the absence of need. This is quite new to me and even if I still clings to others and to possessions at time...I not only know, but experience the joy of being whole unto myself. When this experience happens to one it can be strange at first. I wondered if I had become indifferent to others but realised that this was not so. What became clear is that I became present to the possibility of freedom for everyone as well as compassion for everyone.

Veeeery interesting!

My aunt and uncle taught me detachment, or actually more properly: IMPERMANENCE. Maybe it's the same thing you are writing essays about, hum?

Later I found a musical CONFIRMATION when a book said that only detached notes can have happy parts, the connected notes, legato in musicalizationisms, are for sad or melancholy phrases, for happy ones, like... say, calypso parts, they need to be detached - so that they can zip around at fast speeds.. makes me think of dogs in a park -

when their leashes are off!

tho... when you have to deal with a fambly issue, a responsibility paperwork drudgery wait-in-line frustrating BORING kind of think... well, you sort of need to be 'attached,' or even 'leashed' for that matter...

A balance of detached needlessness, and appropriate needismness, somewhere between those polarities is what I find works for me. Just sharing a think or 2..
