SSRS expresses a similar theme. He says enjoy all the beauty around you, just don't claim or seek ownership. Just that thought loosened me up quite a bit, letting go of the striving, seeking to obtain things of beauty -- whether women in a relationsip, fine furniture or art or some beautiful flowers in the park. Fully appreciate it when its in you "space" and then let go. Letting go is the key. And actually sets you up for the next wave of appreciation. You can't fully appreciate B when still striving to obtain A. To subscribe, send a message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'
