We are constantly being told that suffering is an essential component to self-growth, I beg to differ. I’d rather see suffering as optional.
Bingeing which used to be a source of grief, uncertainty & tremendous despair is today, to my latest discovery, part of a project, the germination of… a bit like a disheveled, disconnected & chaotic building-site that takes a turn for the better three quarters of the way, revealing the beauty of careful planning, the scrutiny of detail, the hard earned result of love… perfection & poetry in curves & colors.
Even though I’d rather sail on a pink cloud throughout I envision my “phase” as part of a scheme… a fraction of the perfection about to be.
What we can be sure about is that challenges are transitory & if we realize it is to take us to where the sun shines we might worry less on the way.
Trying to understand the bigger picture has loosened the knots & brought peace when least expected.
Bryant H. McGill says, “Abundance is a process of letting go. That which is empty can receive”.
Letting go of my food for me is the answer to inviting after many years of struggle, abundance & quality in my life.
The question is, when/will it happen & is it only up to me?
That remains to be seen…
Lovely. A beautiful poignant wisp in my day 🙂
Thanks a lot for your kind words 🙂
It is amazing how connected we all are. This post is similar to the one I wrote yesterday, the essence. Being honest with oneself is the first step, I think, to letting go. It is part of our journey of discovery. And I agree with you, suffering is a choice, just like happiness. Have a wonderful week!! thanks for sharing! 😀 ❤
What lovely & heartfelt feedback! These are the miracles of blogging, finding minds alike.
We are all looking for our balance & serenity in life, it is especially nice to read it from a different perspective which might give us new ideas or simply reinforce our own.
Wishing you much success in your endeavors & a lovely week too 🙂
I tried to look for that article but couldn’t find it…
I know, since I changed my page, the latest posts are harder to find. I usually categorize everything that it is not art, under Writings. Here is the link, and thanks for looking for it. 😀 Have a wonderful weekend.

Hello
Yesterday you liked 7 of my posts at thevibrantchanneledcreator.wordpress.com and I fell in love with “JeTeDisTout” and your versatile blog and comment replies. In the replies I learned about copyright, how to access UTube, how prolific you are, how you apply anonymity to your blog, and successfully combine writing, research, photography, and painting in your creations.
I have been applying the principles of OA for these last 40 years. Can you tell from my posts?
So delighted to find your work on my 73rd Birthday! Big Treat!

I would have never guessed you were an OA er & surely not that long but it’s nice to find a follower, I’ll have to browse through once more…
“Je te dis tout” is very close to my heart & one of my favorites too!
It is a very good feeling to receive such a heartwarming & appreciative comment, it’s well worth the long hours & energy invested 🙂
I was a total novice when I started this blog a year & five months ago and learnt everything moment by moment, I still remember the overwhelming feeling at each new task required for the upkeep of my blog…even the language bloggers used when kindly giving me advice I so longed for seemed like Chinese to my ears so, I’m so glad you benefited from this information without struggling too much, I feel it was all to a purpose and I’m grateful for that 🙂
Thanks again for sharing your impressions so generously through this comment!
What a rush!
Slow breaths!
Settling down!
Grounding underway…
