the essential.
find out what your essential is and then....make sure that you know how to have that essential in your life....and celebrate it. Embrace it...and give power to it.
some things.....seem "nice" to have- maybe they make life a bit easier at times...but what is the essential?
the essential things are what makes you happy.
the unnecessary cloud the environment....and sometimes makes a big puddle where the essential get blocked out.
back to basics...and you are left with what?
what is essential to you?
a bunch of surface relationships that take away from deep and meaningful connections?
no.
a whole lot of distractions that prevent you from seeing what is fulfilling?
what is fulfilling to you?
which brings me to the point.....what does it mean to be fulfilling? Some friends or acquaintances that you know....might not share a deep connection with you....however....
It always makes me....wonder. Why people feel the need to do mass deletings of "friends" on FB. as if all these people they aren't actively communicating with are just.....deletable?
that somehow this person who is listed as your friend is just someone you absolutely can't learn from...or you can teach them something....
I just.....I don't see the purpose of that. How we do anything is how we do everything....and I couldn't put my experiences in a safely locked box...clutter free....I dunno.
but some people want to 'simplify' their life.....so they just start tossing things out...people and friends and old t-shirts.
as if this will give them a clutter free life.
I think they are missing the bigger picture.....I think....and I feel....that deconstruction of something....the
stripping down to the basics.....
the 'simplifying' and abstracting to the essential,
means that you identify your
necessary.
If all you do is throw everything away, just to "simplify" ....and miss the point of identifying what is your essential...
you just end up with an empty room....and empty experiences....with less people around to share and grow with.....
what you can do is....gain your essential.....respect your necessary....embrace your basics...flow into them and feel
deeper connections..... fill the fulfilling with yourself.....reaching ever deeper the meaningful.
Maybe you need to throw it all out and start fresh? maybe a blank canvas helps you realize what you really need?
for me....I have a box of watercolors....and acrylics sometimes weaved together....with brushes....and everything hanging out in the same space....
but there are essentials that I always go to....the ones that I need. the brush I always need...the color that I always need....and those are the ones I go to....always.
and it's ok if they also live with the other brushes and colors.....that's ok. Sometimes the other colors come out....sometimes the other brushes....
but the go-to- ones....I share a special connection with....and I've identified these....they speak to me in a way that no other ones do. We sing a special song together. We are harmony, we are deep understanding, we are unwavering and unconditional.
so much happens in the day that we can place so much emphasis on what needs to be done...instead
of how we need to be with each other and with ourselves.
I hear too many times in my home "You know what we need...." I cringe. So much "need" but what
is the truly necessary. Everyone has their own necessary...
find your necessary.
peace and love....and essence.
