Doing not doing


It occurs to me that strong willed means more than bullying my way through life.  For me it often means just the opposite.

Learning to NOT say what I am thinking, Not do what I'd like to do, Not act the way I feel in the moment.

Not doing is often the hardest thing of all.

In every respect.

Doing Not doing is a meditation that was very difficult for me to learn.  Letting go of everything and allowing the emptiness, the wholeness, the sanity and sanctity of the universe to persevere is a true art and one I am far from perfecting.

It is the basis of patience and reasonable living.  It is reality in its purest form.

It is where I learn more about myself than anywhere else if I care to pay attention.

Strong willed works for and against me.
