(laxitives)

[Guest guest]

I think it was Buddha who said -

Let go of hopes and fears... and relax into the groundlessness.

'Hope' seems to be such a big thing in our world, well, in my mind

anyway, which maybe is my world??? But I don't think I'd need hope,

if I let go of fears?

I don't know where I'll be or what I'll be doing come April, and I

keep hoping something will show up. But every now and then, I relax

(return to laxness) and all is so very well in this moment.

Maybe questioning my thoughts is a form of 'lax-i-tive'

This moment is 'moment'ous.

I appreciate what you're examining, I too am.

Uh, have you tried loving that you're tired of trying to tell yourself

to love?

Laxitively yours,

> thanks mary, i remember this from a previous post. i asked the

question for myself since i am working with the notion that one

emotional state is preferable to another, and i find that i cant know

this to be true. i am love, that is my true nature, and i feel

abundant love, numbness, anger, nervousness, aversion, etc...when it

is my 'job' to do so. is one 'higher' than the other? these other

emotional states seem to arise until they dont, and frankly, im a bit

tired of trying to tell myself to love...i notice it is hopeless!
