I'm Back Again
Enough
When is enough enough?
When is too much booze,food,sex, possessions ever enough?
Can you have too much sorrow?
Too much joy?
Joy that only arises when you've experienced sorrow.You can't know one without the other.Take sorrow away and you take joy away.
Enough already.
Can we ever drink,eat,screw or own our way out of sorrow?They are all false dawns.
Don't you get it?
Chasing desires is the cause of all suffering.Yours,mine, everyones.
Just stop it now.Stop chasing things and confront your suffering.Its painful but the only way out is in.
For me.
The sound of rain on a tin roof is enough.
The smell of baking bread or petrichor is enough.
The sound of a child's laughter is enough.
A gentle breeze...enough
And you, you are enough.

It IS magical.
Enough is never enough. We continually chase the dream, at least I do.
I suppose when I’m done with trauma therapy I’ll have a bit of peace, but you’re right. We can’t have one thing without the other. It’s all about balance.
I’m so damn happy you’re back.
