Hints of the Gladness: Detachment
Hints… geese leave the inlet to go wherever it is that they go to for the day. Flying so close by. Purple wildflowers. Light pink clouds as the sun comes up in the morning. Stealing of my mind and body as I lay the foundation for the day.
Detachment. I woke up with this word on my mind and felt an invitation to practice it as I started my morning routine. It’s not a very fun word and a word that we might even be a little bit suspicious of. I think the suspicion comes from the warning not to be emotionally detached.
I know there is a healthy form of detachment and it comes down to my inner program for happiness. It's healthy to look inward for happiness. To that which already exists. In a sense it happiness and peace are my nature and everything else like thoughts, perceptions, feeling and concepts just get in the way.
We can trust and what already is. We already are connected to all things. We already are one. We don’t need to make an effort to change that unless we are absolutely led by love, wisdom and reason to do so. This happens naturally as we let go, at least that's what I'm told by spiritual teachers that I respect and follow. 😊
