Stories

Stories: 

at this point in my life I'm done with stories, or at least getting myself overly involved in the stories of the world. By this I don't mean to imply that I don't care for others and their concerns. It's that things have simplified for me considerably, joyfully so, and I find myself forgiving easier, returning love to pretty much all that's offered, and more ready to let go of everything that doesn't seem to serve me. There's just no need to over complicate my life with stories.

not even a better one.

and that's what often seems to happen, we upgrade, believing that another belief or philosophy will bring us freedom. We're chasing truth at the cost of joy, adding layers of stories to already existing stories, and then complicating the simplicity of the present moment. This is feeding a spiritual addiction that only keeps us trapped within another story, always expanding to hold one more secret truth that fails to truly set us free. 

the truth is - there is no better story

just a different one.

and joy is only found right now.

this moment.

alone.

so with this, at a certain point in my life, there has a comes a great surrender, relinquishing story after story, letting go of versions of truth and settling into a life of continuous forgiveness.Everything else has remained the same, meditation and yoga still a joyful practice, and I'm open to explore different stories than my own. I just don't buy into them, no version of truth is more vital than what's found within a moment of real forgiveness. 

and that's what always brings me home.

it's the peace of letting go.

forgiving along the way.

Yes, This Too

Yes, this too: 

to live a more forgiving life, one not based upon principles but lived solely from the heart. This isn't meant in any sentimental way, it's more practical, that my life is a display of love and untouched by past events or projection on the future. 

everything is forgiven and returned to love. 

at least,

to the best that I am able.

and that's the wonderful thing about a practice, there's no demands that I be an expert right now, or ever really. I have an entire lifetime to put this into action, events that present themselves in order for me forgive, and my only role here is to say...

"yes, this too is forgiven" 

and so,

my life continues. 

forgiving all the way.
