Old Fashioned Woman

Old fashioned woman I am

I don't look for my freedom from men.

They do not have anything to do with my freedom.

My freedom is not based on someone's opinion,

It is not vulnerable and dependent on conditions,

Its is here, like my breath that is simply always here.

My freedom does not depend on

how much I am loved and respected,

if this is absent in the relationship, why stay?

My freedom is to love,

To look at my man with respect and interest,

To create a space of comfort and beauty.

My freedom is to nourish my man, take care of him,

and let him nourish and take care of me.

Some call it old fashioned.

My freedom is in asking if I need something,

and giving if I moved to share.

I don't have reservations, and I do both with ease.

I respect man's strength, physical and in spirit,

And I am not in the competition with him,

I am a creature of my own, a different specie.

For me, equality means living my own life to the best I can,

And letting the other do the same,

Without manipulation.

Said all that, I don't know what is right for you,

please be free in your own expression.

Old fashioned is right one for me.

Worries of the Future

We don't know the future, we only can think about it.
Thoughts are the product within already set
mental structure - beliefs, a certain view.
The future can't reveal itself outside of this structure,
can you see this?
To think of a future within the mental beliefs
that are present now,
is useless.
To have a wondering attitude is more healthy
then resisting attitude.
Wonder is a more open view that includes right action.
Wonder is not a passive state. Its a state of being open
to what is.
If the action is required, then one is moved into it.
May we live in wonder, may our actions come
from the immediacy of now,
not from the fear of the future.

Mountains are Mountains, Rivers are Rivers. The Journey.

The journey of the seeker of truth starts with 

"seeing mountains as mountains 

and rivers as rivers", 

as Zen proverb begins... 

As we go deeper in perception, 

we de-construct seemingly solid reality,

we see interconnectedness, energies, vibrational nature of things. 

We see "mountains are not mountains, and rivers are not rivers"...

If the journey takes up further, everything that we thought 

we finally understood about the nature of the world, is gone !

Just as solidity of the material world, so are the finer perceptions as energies and vibrations,
poof !

"Mountains are mountains, and rivers are rivers". 

Again. And HERE we ARE. 

And nothing to seek anymore, besides just continue to 

BE.
