My cup runneth over


I have been the fortunate recipient of quite a bit of good luck lately. Mostly in the form of making new friends and having new avenues of relationships open up to me. And they have done wonders for my self-esteem (They like me, they really like me!).

However, there is an old Zen saying "Enlightenmentis like an arrow straight to hell." What does taht mean? For me, I have a tendency to get caught up in new friends, new possibilities. And while I value these new possibilities very much, I don't want to lose or devalue what wonderful things I do have, both in my friends and lovers.

Oddly enough, this experience hasn't made me think about my current connections any less. In fact, I'm noticing my connection to Eleri more and more over the last few days. I've even been gushing a bit. I am very happy that Eleri seems to approve of the connections I'm building. And that just makes me want to connect with her even more.

Ya know, that's how life is supposed to be. Shared joy is increased, and shared joy is decreased. And thus do we refute entropy.

Amen.

Positive energy begets more positive energy, in my experience. It certainly makes the shadows a little less menacing. ;)

It is these moments that make life a delight, when we realize, yes, we are cared for, yes, we DO matter. And of course love always begets more love. :)
