Thank you, Wayne. I went to read Dan’s post and loved it. Happiness and joy are very inner feelings. I have the chance to have found my inner joy and feel blessed all the time. Nevertheless, I still struggle with the « let go » concept because I am a very enthusiastic person, always eager to embrace the Universe’s surprises; there are so many things I want to experience but they are all linked to my purpose, the role I’m here to play in this life. But I don’t need them to be happy, I just need to be awake. Lots of love.

Awesome! That is wonderful. You said it so well. We don’t need all of the life experiences to be happy. We just need to be awake and alive. When we don’t need anything to be happy, we are finally free to enjoy everything. Thank you for sharing your lovely thoughtful response! Many blessings. ❤️🙏

I totally forgot to tell you: you are part of one of my bucket list items! Indeed, one of my plans in my near future is to spend one or two weeks in a remote place to write without any outside interruption and I am very seriously considering, not for next time but at some point, to spend one of my writing times alone in your inn in the Adirondacks.

“We live in a very holistic universe. Everything is connected. Spiritually minded people call this “oneness.”  Science calls it the “unified field.” “

Everything is deeply connected in one whole conscious pattern of nature.

“The simple reality is that our planet is a single living organism, as much as our bodies are.”

~~Thom Hartmann

The UNIverse is alive.

All the things in nature are together in one place.

Each thing is moved by nature’s pattern.

Signals give direction.

The whole divides in to parts. 🧬

The parts move around and in and out of each other.

Like water flowing in rivers 💦 and oceans 🌊 and changing into vapor 💨 and snow ⛄️❄️and ice 🧊.

The water flows in and out of creatures 🐿️ and plants 🌱.

Every part is circulating, round and round. 💫☄️🪐⛈️🦠🧬🌪️

Things unFold 🌱 then enFold 🍂 .

Everything in the UNIverse fits 🧩

because each part belongs

to the ONE whole conscious cosmic song 🎻 and dance 💃🏻.

“Which is it? Is the answer to a meaningful life passionately pursuing my dreams? Or is the answer found in letting go and simply finding joy in being?”

Letting go.

My friend took me to Joshua Tree and gave me mushrooms.

I suddenly said to myself,

I let go of my attachment to my things

I let go of my attachment to my friends

I let go of my attachments to my family

And I let go of my attachment to my body

💨 poof I became pure light 💡.

It was the feeling I had been hoping for all my life

Pure bliss 🎇 and love 💖.

After that I knew everything is One.

Wow! It sounds like letting go of attachments has been very powerful in your life! I celebrate that. Without question our tendency is to hold too tightly to things. Thank you for sharing your story! Many blessings on the journey.‼️
