A Luxury to Afford

Off for the yearly retreat to be by the Arabian Sea.

Not exactly physically alone, but I suppose solitude is as much a state of mind as much as it is a physical state.

The Inevitable

As I mused to someone before… We who tend to be easily affected by the opinions of others and who hold ourselves to high expectations would likely carry these traits with us wherever we go.

So no matter which job you do, which country you move to, it’s probably unlikely that you’d be able to get away from yourself.

Which is why, as always, the most important work has to be done within.

You Are…

Always helpful when caught in the emotional storms of the mind.

Comparison

2 words: Stop. It.

Live More, Worry Less

I wish it were as easy as said.

There is only…

The ever on-going journey to embrace all imperfection, chaos, mistakes, seeming negativity, the list goes on…

And to find the beauty of Life in all of that.

Protect Your Grass

So, apart from not being tempted by the grass on other sides, and spending effort to cultivate our own grass, we must also remember to protect our grass once we have managed to cultivate a semblance of our own grass.

And that could sometimes mean:
1. Taking time out from social obligations to spend time watering our grass.
2. Trimming our grass when they get too big to be well-maintained (grass can grow really quickly) – quantity over quality.
3. Exchanging grass maintenance tips with others who have succeeded in grooming their own grass.
4. Being sensitive enough to know what our grass needs at different seasons and time periods
5. Realising that every grass responds differently to the environment, and every grass owner’s style of different. Learn from others (point3), but don’t compare.
6. Trusting that our grass actually already knows what they want, and sometimes all is needed is for us to listen to them (go back to point 4)

The Only Thing

In A Gentle Way

It’s hard, though. Especially in a world where everything seems to move only through force, fear and/or loudness.
