I know that I am standing at the precipice of…. something. Not sure what. Like discovering that what I’m looking for is just off to the left and not in front of me…. so I have to turn my head, in some way. It’s right there – I just need to turn my head to see it.
I also know that despite my increasing disinterest in this perceived ‘reality’, I know that my life is filled with the simple joy of Being. I go to bed at night, filled with a sense of peace. I wake up in the morning, so grateful for this moment of my existence… knowing that it is here, that I might discover. I feel attached to/obligated to/propelled by…. by…. nothing! There is great freedom in that.
I am also mindful that I have no longing. I have no sense of being pulled into tomorrow; or drawn away from the moment I’m in. Even my longing for Hawaii has left me. I live in the moment – trusting completely that THAT is where the I AM that I am, is intended to be.
It is a challenge to live, in this world, without the propelling force of ’the next’….. the next moment, the next accomplishment, the next outcome, the next provocation, the next win, the next event, the next blah blah blah. In my life, at this time, there is not a single ’the next’. Leaves me with a sense of floating – as opposed to drifting. A Lightness of Being. Wondering and wandering in the existing moment, knowing that the fullness I seek is found there, and nowhere else.
Yes, this lightness of being resonates within me. Wandering in the moment is so delicious also! Thank you for this! Holly Irons
