breathing out*


"Ego takes everything personally. Emotion arises, defensiveness, perhaps eve aggression.
Are we defending the Truth? No, the truth in any case needs no defence.
You are defending yourself or rather the illusion of yourself.
Light travels faster than sound - that is a fact.
The light or sound does not care about what you or anybody else thinks.
A New Earth - Echard Tolle

My best friend phones me every time when she at the airport, on her way somewhere. Yesterday she phoned to say she is flying to San Francisco for 2 weeks, one week to attend Burning Man and the other to just walk around this beautiful city.

I've been right smack down in the middle of my business, which is struggling. I get all caught up in all the business aspects, forgetting that life is sooo much more. This phone call opened me up, reminded me that there is a world out there, a world and life worth living! Your job, your business - that which you think is the centre of your 'life' does not matter at all in the big circle of life.

So, anyone joining me? We're jumping out into life! xx
