as so many life decisions are up in the air, i keep running into this love for freedom. interestingly, a paradox is arising as i've been investigating the teachings of adyashanti. instead of a freedom from circumstances, responsibilities and restrictions on choice, adyashanti talks of a freedom from the illusions of the mind, and a surrender to the reality that all those circumstances, responsibilities and restrictions are simply illusions. our truest freedom is in seeing through this illusory sense of reality.
i'm realizing that really nothing is ever certain, and the uncertainty itself is the doorway to the freedom i seek.

Beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteYes, sustainability is in tune with the earth, but it's also in tune with the spirit. Only recently I'm seeing it as freedom, maybe because I've never planted quite enough to live on.
