I find I am afraid of the power that lies within my heart. I wake up and realize that I am no longer asleep. I speak and realize I already know. I love and know that I already am that. The problem is I need to quench my thirst, I feel it everyday and the only thing that keeps me from satiation is my own avoidance of the water.
Oscar Wilde said "In this world there are only two tragedies, one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it". We spend so much time in search of some sort of satisfaction that I find this to be true. It's been called our right... the pursuit of happiness, but it has also been said that the pursuit of happiness is the source of unhappiness. So where does this leave us? For some of us it leaves us enjoying the journey but it does not rid of us of this unquestionably human desire for satisfaction. Always looking for the next best thing. Fearing that which we are without. Afraid of being with ourselves. Unsure of where we must go or what we must do next. Scrambling to make things work. When we can fully embody the realization that soon after this thing we so desire there will be another thing we desire again it will take some of the pressure off our situation. Life energy is wise, we can't fool it into a false reality no matter how clever we think we may be. We can only delay the inevitable. But we can stop clinging to that which is keeping us from being hungry temporarily, hanging on by a thread to our satisfaction. It's hard to let go of the things that fill our void, that seem to temporarily satiate our longings. But what happens when we choose to stop living hand to mouth in the context of our desires? Or when we stop clinging to the things that are not serving us?
When we choose to fall into the unknown and crave the possibilities there is an incredibly powerful rush of energy that comes into our lives. A freedom from circumstance, a freedom from satisfaction. Magic.
