Thanks for the reminder that there’s a natural ebb and flow to all things. And for reminding me to watch for the little signs that I’m getting into some big resistance.

Melanie – this came just at the perfect time. Getting in harmony with what IS and not resisting is a challenge sometimes. Thank you for the wisdom in your words.

Attachment is definitely a powerful word, concept and behavior driver. It’s easy to say “let go” it’s just that I’m so darned attached…. I’ve learned I need to laugh at myself more. Thanks for the post!

I’m with Sue and Linda. Printing this out as a reminder to observe. Thanks for such a thought-provoking post.

Darn it … I hate it when someone makes me look into what I’m reflecting in the moment. Not really; I really appreciate it. I’ve recently been helped in putting a name to one thing I’m experiencing and now I’ve been reminded to watch. Thanks.

I probably need to print it out, too! Great advice, Melanie. I tell myself a zillion times a day “attachment is the root of all suffering.”

Thank you, Melanie for your sage advice about how to tackle the upsets and your reminder of aversion, attraction issue. I definitely agree with you that it is the holding on that is the problem. When we have perspective on it, we can realize how silly it is to be so attached. I’m printing this one out and posting it where I can see it as a reminder!
