weeee!!

but you know, i am trying to learn something else that i came across in a book about buddhism. when an empty space appears, not to rush to fill it with myself, but to let it remain. i’m sure this sounds whack! but it makes so much sense to me. and it is something i have not even yet begun to know how to do, let alone master. but if i can let the empty space in life just be, there may be space for something greater than me to move in.

hope you are happy today chris. this may be a bit cryptic, but it’s where my head is today…

Oh how I wish I could live this life. I have a problem with sharing, being honest with where I really am, and trusting…hence the self induced suffering.

Thanks for sharing, your writing inspires hope in this alcoholic. For me, a little hope goes a long way. Thank you.

You have an amazing and inspiring talent for capturing your experiences and feelings in ways that I, for one, relate deeply to. I, also, feel that the past four years or so of my life have been a dizzying, sometimes sickening, ride on a Big Coaster. I rose quickly and went very high, enjoying the bone-tingling ride skyward until the moment I reached the apex. Then, I barreled downward exponentially on a sickening ride to hell, always risking being dashed to my death below. Then, smaller versions of the same, followed at last by a slow glide back into the station.

And, lest I complain, I am compelled to remind myself always that I bought this ticket, I entered the turnstile, and I hopped on this car. I share your strong sense that the greatest lessons we can learn from here forward all focus on one thing: taking responsibility for our selves, utterly and without exception.

Thanks for scribing it out so faithfully! I for one appreciate your insight and gain from your related experiences.
