I
am interested in the yin to my yang. The nothing to my everything. The Will
Christopher Baer novel, “Godspeed” that was released in 2007 but has never been
sold anywhere. The calmness, the lack of the have-tos--a place I am so eager to
linger in--for at this very moment, I have but one objective: to be happy in my
truth.
I
will roll out my yoga mat daily and practice my Vipassana meditation. I will
continue to grow, seek, and most importantly: be. Just be. Perhaps this is my
life’s purpose. Perhaps my intention for doing has come around to just being.
There is much to ponder when coursing the simile of the search. The drive to
happiness. The productivity of life. The challenge, which reaps the discovery
of accomplishment. But what if just being was enough? What if our purpose was
not to do anything, but to be actively engaged in the specific context of our
moment? I am fully aware of the anxiety stillness can bring, hell, I am no
warrior to silence by any means. However, in respect and reverence to the
simplicity of my current state of being, I want to appreciate the beauty of
nothing, which, in turn, frees me from the chaos of everything.
