The Mind & Touch

He is total freedom ⛓ ⛓ And she is total love ♥️ ♥️

Love found itself rejected by freedom

And freedom found itself imprisoned by love.

And love without freedom is attachment

And freedom without love is escape.

They drifted apart from each other, both looked for light out of their shadow and pain.

And also love and freedom felt lonely and they didn't feel accepted.

Because love is nothing without freedom

And freedom is nowhere without love.

But love has to dive deep into itself

And freedom needs to appear by itself.

✨✨✨

Remember the truth of who they are and connect to their sacred source

And instead of falling apart, they fall together.

Two souls with only one thought-

Two hearts that beat as one.

In unity.

Creator and connector. ✍️

"It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.

It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.

It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon.

I want to know if you have touched the center of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.

I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.

I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, remember the limitations of being human.

It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true

I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul.

If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.

I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.

I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, 'Yes.'

It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have.

I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.

It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here.

I want to know if you will stand in the center of the fire with me and not shrink back.

It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied.

I want to know what sustains you from the inside when everything else falls away.

I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.”

Looking at my large apartment while cleaning I thought to myself. Why the fuxk am I doing this? Why am I doing this alone? 

If there is one thing I have learnt is that anything that is a burden needs to be embraced and turned into an exciting experience. 

I am new to this new world. Its a bit like walking into a science musieum. I want to experience, play and touch everything. 

I want to control and be controlled
