Being nothing isn’t so bad…is it?
Being nothing isn’t so bad…is it? Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man’s character, give him power. Abraham Lincoln Being nothing can open the door to becoming everything. I think it’s one of those funny twists of life: By being nothing, you can become everything. Or, being nothing can be an excuse for living a shallow life. So which is it? I have contemplated this and here is where I am at. I hope these thoughts can help you open to the possibility of living while being nothing, walking lightly in your heart as you walk upon the earth. I have tried to imagine what it may be like to have no worries, no fear, and no confusion or stress. Nothing that I’m wishing for or waiting for, nobody to be angry at and no pressing matters at hand. This is not an easy task for me, I used to be a partner in a firm, I have been a CFO responsible for millions of dollars. Currently, I am living in a rustic cabin, heating it with wood, waiting for the spring to get back into the fields, drive a fertilizer truck, waiting for the river to open up so I can guide kayaks and fisherman during the summer. I have fears and worries of how I am going to pay the bills, heat the cabin, not turn into a hermit. Telling myself not to worry, or have fear is easier said than done. Nevertheless, just by opening myself to the possibility of entering this state of inner freedom, I believe I have started to pave the way to its door. I have tried to remember the last time I felt a truly deep level of security and comfort. For me, it goes back to my childhood, before responsibilities came in and fucked everything up-bringing stress, test scores, peers, deadlines, homework, teachers, and all the responsibility and challenges of being thrust into a large group of other souls. Remember when the biggest concern was what flavor of Lifesaver candy would come up? I am trying to take that carefree feeling from childhood and bring it into the circumstances of my life as it is now. I am focusing on living my life with all the things and people around me, but with absolutely nothing to worry about. I am not worried about death, money, what someone else thinks about me, or about losing anything, yet I’m still caring, engaged and involved with everything that’s going on around me. I feel like this is what is meant by integrating spirituality into my life. HueJazzz The Mystic Writer |
