How do you define yourself, to yourself and others? Are you first and foremost a husband/wife? A mother/father? A bus driver, dentist, musician ... ? A Christian, Moslem, Jew ...? A nag, joker, dreamer ...?
Be aware that any label puts limits on you. Today, experience how it feels to let go of the labels to rest in ‘I am.’ Feel the freedom, the spaciousness, the infinite potential of simply being.
Only people puts labels on anything. If you label a flower that it is a rose, you no longer enjoy the sight of it, you might not even look at it. I do not know the name of flowers and trees and constallations up above in the dark sky. And i do not bother about that. There used to be times when i wanted to learn that just to impress my future spouse. But it doesnt give a shit. It doesnt matter what you say, what matters are the feelings inside, which can be translated from that couple of eyes. You can say that you love someone, and lie into her eyes, but she will certainly feel if it is not true. At least if she can read behind the lines. Its not the labelling that matters. When i label that five stars and then the others, you cannot really enjoy the sight. But i'd rather just look up at the sky and enjoy the shiny light moving about for hours. of course if the wheather is fine.
But even if it is really cold, there are times when you forget about the cold and the time. When we went cross-country skiing really late at night it was shivering cold. however, when i caught sight of the aurora borealis (nothern light), i was just standing there amazed at the beauty of those waving hands. when it was over, i was almost frozen, my feet were for sure and later even in the house i was shivering from cold. My mates wanted to call for doctor. but right there the flow took me and i forgot about cold and time.
