I Don't like this.
I Never do that.
I can Never be like that.
I am Not that.
I Am this.
These are definitions and identity-traps we've willingly walked into, holding tightly to our ground —arrogant, self righteous— at very weak moments in life when we felt the ground slipping away. When it most certainly felt we would lose out if we didn't utter the 'I never' or 'I am' and desperately latched on to an identity, a definition! To feel victory - merely in that moment, in a context!
How often soon after, till much later in life, have we felt the shackles of one such momentous utterance, felt forced to live by it, till it strangled & coiled around our necks and juiced the happy energy of living out of our veins, however invisibly.
A moment of victory, a cross for life.
When there is no definition, when my possibility is everything, there is no pressure to merely mimic or conform to a foible, a weak moment.
Let's try it the next time.
and experience this Freedom in being identified for Nothing.
