As alwaysssss Uno - you are the beautiful articulation of my heart. You write with a silky flow, but I particularly think your writing shines most when you write about love. There's something there :)
When I read your thoughts on love and fear, I couldn't help but think about love and attachment. Buddhism, bell hooks, and generally other smart schoolsof thoughts all say similar things - which is that love and attachment can't co-exist. To love is to not be attached. And well, fear is a form of attachment too. I've tried a lot to identify what is love and what is attchment in my life. And a love without fear, without loss, without grief - is a very 'light' emotion to hold. Many of us will live our lives without knowing that feeling. I used to be driven by heavy deep intense love. Now I seek light love. I try.
Ah, Rhea. I have so many thoughts. You've picked up on my greatest struggle with Buddhist practice - to love without attachment. I shall wrestle with your brain on this one.
Thank you for reading and resonating with this. I write because you encourage (and indulge) me :*
