never attaching is a good excuse and trap for those who fear rejection, who fear or lack an ability to love, truly love not just mirror back what they want in return or simply for their own spirits. attaching and clinging on is just as bad it sucks the life out of everyone it touches. where is God in all of this? it amazes me how many people construct so many reasons or ways of why this and why that to avoid a God they cannot understand. to make themselves God. or to demolish God altogether. those who work in service are human and have needs also. who makes it ok to smile with the hand out to receive but to turn away and make invisible the giver at the first sign of the reality of completing the circuit being whole and giving back

This is interesting, Elisa. Never attaching….. It's funny how spiritual concepts can be made into traps as easily as anything else. I've been thinking about that a lot lately. Spiritual materialism…..spiritual words becoming idols….. thanks for these thoughts.
I was reading another friend's blog about how her son had stolen some books and kept it secret for a whole month and then finally in brokeness fessed up. When he did he opened himself up to love in a big way. The thing is I'm not sure we can really open ourselves to love and be right or righteous?
My experience has been that the longer I'm right the further I drift from the heart. But the universe must love me because sooner or later I do something stupid that totally breaks my heart and then I remember what love is.
I think as long as we're human we have attachments. It really cannot be helped, though they may be to ideas rather than to other people. I sure haven't figured out that perfect balance yet between allowing someone in and not clinging on to them. Maybe that's the life work, eh?
It's all been said before in thousands of books, pictures, music. It's the art of life.
Whatever it is I found myself open to it when I reached that point in my life where I was truly, Broken.
It's the balancing act of a life time.:-)
Well put, and nicely stated as well. I'm sorry that I could not be there in the way you needed.

Very interesting….got me thinking about some things I've been noticing lately–offline people I've been encountering and Gaians making excuses for certain behaviors, all under the guise of a spiritual path or New Age belief. I know that most often, people just do their best, which is great and very 4 Agreements-like. But sometimes, they don't (and know it) and then justify it later with a Buddhist tenet or something else.
Sorry if I was off-topic for a moment there, but it's what came to mind. Or perhaps, I should be honest with myself and you—it's what was on my mind, freed up for expression by your blog. :)
Yours and Centria's comments led to me to search today.
I found this.
However, in the chide or explanation that felt truly valid to me, it ended up with a MY way is more right, which had me feeling that the writer while sincerly attempting to communicate a point and express valid differences to overcome something that seemed unsavory, fell into saying such himself. :)
There must be a way to share and to overcome that at the same time?
