Journey of life, growth
Grow, but stay connected to the past and heal, let the world harden us without losing ourselves and natural goodness. Care not so much for things that are measured.
Be one with the inner child, dare to wonder, care not too much for people’s shadows (Young), live with emotions, yet there are times to plan with logic, notice, understand, explain, learn.
Be humble and open to being wrong when learning, confident and concerned for others when acting.
It often makes sense to reverse the golden rule, since we treat others how we want to be treated ourselves. If healed.
Don’t expect others to be good, mature or healed.
We can give a little first to know if it is appreciated, given back. To find out if we should leave, heal or share. We can be vulnerable, inter-dependent, honest yet mature, like in a community with common values, making people conform to them. Or with a special someone.
Once healed, we can help others. We can do a lot without pressure, or guilt. Just naturally, by way of the Tao. Or perhaps that is my path, and others differ. Too few realize, know on this level. I know where to find them, and I will
Of course, most are stuck in their daily lives. I see through their masks, their pretence of normality. But I also see their uniqueness, their potential.
I have the existential curse of the philosopher. But not only.
Sometimes, we do nothing but being. And that in itself is enough.
Yin yet Yang
Yang yet Yin
I remember now, there were others who knew of the song Imagine
I saw the fire in their eyes
