The Nth Branch Of Being

Remain unattached to outcome.


This is a lesson I am being given plenty of opportunity to come to terms with. The Universe constantly and repeatedly brings me the chance to examine this one...

The enjoyment of doing, just because...
The enjoyment of being, just because...


and yet my whole life has been target and goal driven. This is an interesting lesson in letting go. One I am uncertain how to commit to. ... The writer's cave is all very well, but it's full of targets: self-sufficiency and determination being just two out of a multitude. And until I have achieved these goals I'm not ready to let go of my attachment to outcome. Scared to let go. - - Perhaps this is the wilderness I walk in?

Learning to trust the Universe to provide... This again is one I get plenty of opportunity to practice with; and I'm starting to get a handle on it ("Fear is the little death" that tries to haunt me, but I'm learning to laugh).

Perhaps I am asking the wrong questions, and my understanding of my path in life is that of a newborn. - - That feels like truth. ... In which case I need to do more research. LOL.

The First Branch Of Self Respect

When you are living with drought; first take water from the well to sustain you, then give water to others.

An apple tree bears fruit and drops it when it is ripe, to grow more apple trees. That the apples nourish others is a happiness. It asks no thing in return.

So; water the apple tree when it thirsts.

This is the first lesson.
