A friend has this saying, “If you have no expectations, you’ll never be disappointed.”  But expectations are grounded in cultural beliefs.  A marriage should last–well, for a while anyways!  Family should help each other.  If you say you’ll do something, you should do it, or at least communicate a change in plans.

Hahahahaha!  So how do we let these expectations go?  How to release all these rules of engagement that generations of cause and effect experience?  Rather, how do we detach ourselves from those ideas and live a life true to ourselves?

Dunno.  Good question.

This combination of being at one with other human beings and communicating connections and even fences that make good neighbors is a delicate balance.  Keeping my heart steady on my sense of purpose while being a good partner, neighbor, worker, social participant, is a daily, minute-by-minute adventure.

So today I’m in a fantasy park life, riding rollercoasters of downtown work, getting a ticket to watching a dear friend in fear–and NOT being in the movie myself, being in a good game tossing ideas back and forth–and leaving the game court when the game is over.

I breathe in a pure full heart of Divine inspiration to be the Light I seek, and release a breath of ease and joy that blesses me from within me, around me, above me, beneath me.
