This Moment To Be Free

I recently saw a greeting card that said, “If you are not living at the edge, you are taking up too much space”. I feel, no need to live on the edge – but important to visit, and sometimes dwell.

If we were relaxed all the time we would be dead, we need to feel the stress response sometimes. But most of the time, for our well-being, we need to be peaceful, mellow and laid back.

So, the middle ground. The only way I have found so far to feel balanced is to go to the edge, but be peaceful and mellow there as much as possible – through breathing, stretching, eating good food, spending time with family, friends and with the man I love, learning wonderful new things, giving what I can however I can as I follow my path unfolding. And enjoying all this pleasure.

Enjoying pleasure – not running from it.

A counselor recently asked me “how much pleasure can you stand?”

I don’t know yet.

om shanti, om peace.
