Do you know that feeling? No fear, no disconnection, just being in the eye of the storm? Feeling silent, feeling centered, feeling free and see the magic around. The turmoil. The chances. The possibilities. Connecting to your true desires. Not: what do I want, but what feels true. Looking in the right direction. Looking in rest. Being.
Feels like surfing: in between the answers. A quote of my friend Myrna, who also send me this link I read when I woke up this morning. I want to share this piece with you, written by Jeff Foster (www.lifewithoutacentre.com). Lean back, rest and be silent. OUR ONE TRUE DESIRE We imagine that we desire... an object, a substance, a state, an activity, an experience, a person, a 'destination'. Really what we desire is that sense of REST that comes from “being there”. What we desire is relief from desire itself! We seek the end of seeking, long for the end of longing, wait for the end of waiting. Suffering disappointment after disappointment, we come to recognize that no external 'thing' can ever truly end the cycle of seeking. Nothing outside of ourselves can make us happy. Disillusioned, exhausted from the search, we sink back into our present experience, resting deeply in its warm embrace. And we finally realise - that's all we ever wanted in the first place! Ourselves. Here, now. We were always so close. We were just looking in the wrong direction, that's all. - Jeff Foster
