i turned my computer off last night for the first time in weeks.
of course, since it's running win xp sp 2, it's been rebooted a few times along the way. but turning it off was quite liberating. nothign in my dl queue, so no real point leaving the thing running.
very liberating feeling to hit the off button and hear the whine of the fan stop.
letting go is always liberating. release. freedom. space from which to examine things afresh.
fear is an interesting thing. it is supposed to help us in times of crisis - fire us into action when we might otherwise sieze up. only, if what we fear is something we cannot run from, fear becomes a recursive loop feeding upon itself.
space. time away. time out. this can grant us the persective needed to let go and be truely free. freedom is something we grant ourselves. it cannot be given. it can be given up, or locked away.
every moment of unutterable happiness that i have ever had have been moments when i've let go and let myself be free. free to just be.
to be me, alive in the moment.
