written in the day, july 28

backing off
taking a moment to stop and feel
and i know
and there's no question
the stillness that i am
troubles press, but they are out there
on the other side of the screen

some days it helps to read my own writing
reel me back into that
not the writing but where it came from - me.

...

funny sometimes it only takes wishing for something to realize - it already is.

"funny sometimes it only takes wishing for something to realize - it already is."

lovely...

That is very much what Adyashanti said about "desire" in a video I saw recently... to desire somethng is a gift, because - when truly seen, leads us back to the Self, to realize that we already have it... that we aleady are are it.

Om Shanti :)
hey... I noticed you took the the "24 year old" off your title... does that mean you aren't 24 anymore...?

Kathleen, thank you... I should check out those videos; I've listened to many of the audio clips more than once. As for the title; idealism's been left behind and now so has 24.

Rob, thanks!

Jon, thank you.

Isaiah, you're most welcome. :)
