holding on — am « Alanis Morissette

holding on — am

– Whether we say that we are ‘identified with ego’ or ‘attached’ or ‘believe in the illusion’ matters not…what matters is that we are holding on to something (some state of being, some person, place, thing) that by It’s very nature is meant to be temporary, ephemeral, and ultimately, fleeting. — am

    I was thinking about it the other day. We born alone and when we go, we go alone even though we can be sorrounded by people, these two events are totally yours.
    But the best thing we leave are the connections, moments, memories and feelings we left behind.

    I thought the same quote several times as I would think of sharing ever alwaysness. I love that you can share wirh us. I am not unhealthily attatched to you, and I look ahead to much wisdom from am. I want to be tacted by you is somehow not an unhealrht ephemeral attatchment I think. I am still within whom I love. I was thinking the meaning of your quote when I was reading/studying A.Course in Miracles.

    whatever we think, may be, whatever we do we serve to learn. And life is ephemeral as a dream, remind us how important to enjoy it
