Dear Friends,
Hello from afar.
I assumed that with my adverse experiences of financial loss, cancer and divorce, I would have mastered the art of letting go. Boy, was I delusional.
As I continue to take time away, I am being asked to let go deeper.
How do we continue to hope and desire without any thread of expectation? Indeed, how do we deeply let go and trust in the perfection of life?
These are the challenges that are coming to surface during my time away.
As I engage with life fully and let go, I find myself at times feeling judgment when the outcome doesn’t flow in the timing or way I had hoped and desired. I clearly remain attached to the outcome.
What surfaced is that there remains a thread of expectation even though the practice is one of equanimity and non-attachment. This thread invites a resistance which disrupts the flow of grace to come into fruition.
How to cut this thread and trust? Going into free fall knowing that the parachute will open in perfect timing without the need to pull the cord.
Showing up with discernment, practicality and application is my core way of being. Now I’m being asked to welcome even more tenderness, love and compassion. How to maintain masculine clarity while nurturing feminine grace, I wonder? I feel I still have a ways to go.
In what areas of your life and relationships do you resonate with what I’m sharing?
Sending you a tight long nine second hug. Try it if you haven’t before. It’s a game changer.
With love and gratitude,
feisal
