I think at times it’s amazing how far I might go to avoid remembering the past.

I mean why not? I’m the one you’ve seen a million times pontificate on the Zen perfection of living in the moment right? The past no longer exists, the future, not yet written.

That was me. It has been me; it’s what I strive for with all my heart.

Thanks, it was a thoughtful and thought provoking weekend.

it isn't really survivor's guilt, but every so often, it does cause me to think of all the risks that I took and somehow, still made it through uninfected - all those forks in the road to end up here and now

"Some memories it seems, are not meant to be buried because our friends were.
Some memories and what they represent should be embraced and not forgotten."

Yes, yes, yes! There is so much about this that rings true.

Really good stuff to open the heart, mind and spirit to. Thank you! *hug

You are looking incredibly hot - on the outside and that glow that is seeming to emanate from within you is there too. I applaud and cheer your efforts!!!

Respectfully,

There is something about the Zen "present" that can become a siren song to think we're done with parts of us - that they're the "past" us - when they're still resonant to who we are in the present.

This post was a beautiful reminder of that.

And topped off with a brilliantly sexy picture, so it worked on multiple levels for me.
