I wish you could have seen the surprise on my face to read my name here and my smile as I write now. Thank you...!
And I also want to say: not all who wander all lost. I believe every human needs more "wanderment" and wonderment in their lives. Not everyone will get the chance, the space or has the capacity to explore their inner realms, to begin again, to let go of self-imposed bull-shit responsibilities, to actually explore who they really are underneath the mirage of illusions, and yet you have been given that gift and you worked hard for it too! So yeah take it, create for the sake of creating, come alive within yourself and for yourself, and fuck the rest. The world can take care of itself, it has before you arrived and it will continue to after you die. What matters is the experiences you want to have before your time here is over. How much love you actually allowed yourself to receive, joy, pleasure not what you did for others or if its at par to societal approval. Becoming the microcosm of the world you want to see, focusing on living from that place, figuring out what that looks like for you and only you, creating from that place, loosing yourself to that presence, that my friend is what its all about. (in my humble opinion, of course) Love you!
Daryll, I am so honored to be mentioned among your powerful and beautiful reflections, and touched that "big little life" resonates with you. Thank you.
We are so conditioned to strive for more, faster, bigger, better—constantly pulling us away from the present moment, from our essence—that to embrace simplicity, solitude, spaciousness, and stillness feels like a kind of rebellion!
Even the healing journey can be churned through an egoistic, late-stage capitalistic lens—the need to do more, "fix" ourselves, buy things, be "productive." Churn, grind, hustle. Rinse, repeat.
But what if simply *to be* is the ultimate state, the mecca, the alpha and omega, the gift waiting to be unwrapped within us all. To reach a place of stillness and peace while the world spins, knowing we are inherently, absolutely, fully enough in our mere existence as soul in a human body navigating this messy thing called life.
