"The real joy of life is in its play. Play is anything we do for the joy and love of doing it, apart from any profit, compulsion, or sense of duty. It is the real joy of living".

A blog about Inner Happiness, Consciousness and Freedom!
"What can I tell you about happiness that you don’t already know at the very core of your being? You may have ‘forgotten’ perhaps, as I have. But let’s remember, together. Let's return to the original Self we long for - that Self that is forever at peace, forever joyous, limitless, powerful, abundant and free! And as we do, let's become Conscious Creators, Bold Adventurers, creatively exploring infinite possibilities as we flow in this enchanting journey we casually call Life!"

This strangeness
In the last couple of days, I have been informed of two incidents over which I have felt deeply saddened. One that has been particularly distressful relates to the disappearance of someone I know. The other also involves a friend. He has been legally accused of an act I am certain he would not have committed. I am confident that this second will eventually be resolved in favor of his innocence but not without considerable emotional pain to him and his loved ones.
Despite my general ability to remain even-minded in the midst of life’s many and varied stories, every now and again, things do trouble me in ways that leave me feeling somewhat disconnected.
This feels strange and it is this ‘strangeness’ that I am trying to come to terms with. I say it is strange because in a very profound way, despite my sense of disconnection, I feel an even deeper connection with the two people involved and with their families. And yet, I am at a loss for words or thoughts to share with our mutual friends. These seem futile. Perhaps that is what I feel disconnected from – the words and thoughts – for my feelings run deep, deep enough to reach that still-point of peace.
Perhaps this is why I am drawn to bring our friends together to share quiet space and time. To somehow hold silently the pain that we each must be feeling and in that silence, reach a point of acceptance. To be at peace with it all.
‘Bad’ things, as perceived by a mind conditioned to see them thus, happen and I have no doubt that not a moment goes by in this time-bound existence when someone, somewhere, is not undergoing some form of pain. I have frequently been aware of this ‘fact’ but every now and again, this ‘fact’ hits home just a little harder and the distress that it evokes lingers just a little longer.
Experience has taught me that, like every other event, every other emotion, whether of sadness, distress, confusion or anger, this too shall pass. But while it is here, perhaps by sharing it, I acknowledge and honor its presence and its purpose, whatever the latter may be. Perhaps too, by my sharing, others may be encouraged to do the same when faced with a similar ‘strangeness’ or ‘disconnection’ or ‘loss for words and thoughts’.
If you are reading this post, please join me in a moment of acceptance. Of all events, all stories. For in that acceptance we find peace.
Peace dear friend, Lucy
