At different times of my life, I would have probably answered this question differently. But “now” as I live my life, having experienced so many changes; I am looking things in a much more simplistic fashion.
I used to think that it was important to have a mate whom I could share all of life’s adventures with. But of my choices of mates, and/or ways that I related to them, something has proved amiss! Now, at age of 48, I find myself alone. My experiences of this “being alone” are a bit challenging emotionally, but it has also allowed me to cleanse myself at very deep levels. I am slowly arising from a heart aching stupor to a place of new and naked peace within myself.
Part of me feels that, perhaps, such heart wrenching journeys are of the most valuable; especially when it comes to the real growth that calls to the truth of me.
The greatest lesson might be in realizing that no one is ever to be blamed for anything. Blame is an illusion and accomplishes nothing.
While recognizing the route of dysfunction in any scenario may hold intrinsic value, there is nothing ever to do but to understand and learn from it. The greatest gift seems to be the quickest route to the truth of anything.
When it really comes down to brass tacks, the only truth that we can know is found in the simplicity of the present moment. Truth is almost too much of an obscurity, from the standpoint of linear perception, to try to define beyond just Being! Truth is a discovery born from “letting” and requires no definition – just conscious presence of Being…
