Love…
In order to develop love ~ universal love, cosmic love, whatever you would like to call it ~ one must accept the whole situation of life as it is, both the light and the dark, the good and the bad. One must open oneself to life, communicate with it.
Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
I’ve usually fallen into the cocoon of feeling discomfort with love. Cultivating a little, gloomy snailshell over my heart and feeling jealous of those who could drift through relationships with ease. I remember wondering why love had to feel so heavy, so stifling, so goal-oriented. Like I was in some kind of race with my lover on who could love more or love less. Never a balance. Distinct over analysis.
Well the same has been true on the meditation cushion…
Well the same has been true in life…
Letting go of the grasping and the clinging is taking me some time, but I’m beginning to see some positive come out of working with the tension that life and love offer to me.
The freedom feels exhilarating, then it slips out of my hand…
and that’s OK
