I'm back from Spain, refreshed and with a forward looking perspective. Living in the moment I recognize the futility and madness in trying to hold onto something that inherently wasn't that good just for the sake of holding on. It was familiar...it had history, but in the end so what? Life is in a constant state of impermanence and it's only our egoic self in its folly that fails to recognize this. The act of letting go in itself is liberating as will be the purging of the "accumulated" stuff acquired over the years.
I recognized as I walked in Spain over the course of a month that I was happy with just what I was carrying on my back and what I carried in my heart living each day one at a time. I met many great people who acted as teachers, friends and likewise I was student/teacher and friend to many and In the process I was healed.
I harbor no bitterness, no animosity, no hatred, no self pity or doubt. I view our shared experience as through a kaleidoscope, beautiful in some of the patterns and not quite sure how the it worked the way it did, or in fact, how it broke. I have compassion for her and wish her well.
This is my last entry as my soul is cleansed. Thanks for sharing in my journey. Buen Camino.
