I am forever grateful for these truly magical words that pry open this mind.<br />XOXO<br />-LeslieLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743354976488736999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687773904041175015.post-60165776614855620232010-10-15T09:13:42.122-07:002010-10-15T09:13:42.122-07:00Lol!

The peace you mention is something that underlies EVERY emotion and experience, and is a sort of base goodness and contentment. It's just that people seem to experience a disproportionate amount of agony, while ignoring, repressing or flat-out disbelieving that loving, ecstatic blossoming of the heart...it took me a while to trust that it wouldn't kill me, so I understand. <br /><br />I also see that we're afraid to break out in spontaneous hugging, laughter, dancing, or other "childish" behavior that might be frowned upon. But we all need that balance! Howl at the moon, I say, if it brings joy and opens the heart. :)Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17377339385445814624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5687773904041175015.post-33562645465212082872010-10-13T14:50:10.264-07:002010-10-13T14:50:10.264-07:00Thank you for this sweetest post Maria..." I ...Thank you for this sweetest post Maria..." I loved, loved, loved the fact that I was here, in the moment!" -- YES!!! I know, deep in my heart, that this is the way we ARE. Yesterday, some sound...some being with the traffic, or something, had the amazing power to lift me out of the most painful thoughts. A few minutes ago there was this deep appreciation and peace watching the fog roll bathing the amazing pine trees.I felt happy and at peace. Not full-on bliss by any stretch of the imagination but most definitely a deep contrast to what the mind was 'saying'.<br />XOXO<br />-LeslieLesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13743354976488736999noreply@blogger.com
