Soooo true. 67 arrives in October and I’m fine with it. I plopped a little reminder to myself on the computer screen of every device in my face “where is your focus today?” Bingo. Vedanta. Hmmm… She slowly wanders off looking slightly mischievous …
There’s something calming in the way you hold this. That steadiness doesn’t feel like theory… it feels lived.
I’ve felt that contrast you’re pointing to… the pull toward what’s changing versus something underneath it all. Some days I get caught in the surface… how things used to be, how they should be… and it’s exhausting. Other days, even briefly, I touch that stillness you’re describing, and everything softens a bit.
What I appreciate here is that it doesn’t deny change or emotion. It just doesn’t let them run everything.
I’m not always there, but I recognize what you’re pointing to. And it’s something I find myself returning to more often lately.
Beautifully said Alexandra. It's surface noise versus the stillness beneath it all. The beauty is, It will keep drawing you in until you one day you will merge with It — your true Self.
Love this so much. Annica, impermanence, used to scare me - but it’s a fact of life, and it also offers incredible amounts of freedom to truly know this. I’ve been feeling restlessness and anxiety lately (ironically), and this is a beautiful reminder to refocus on the changeless Self. Thanks for sharing.
Always a delight to read your words. The peace from your heart overflows into your words 💜
Thank you Taran 🤍

Yes, we need those little reminders to keep us focused on what really matters.

Hello! Do you have any sacred book recommendations for someone new to this line of thinking? Thank you so much!
Yes Debbie. Are you interested in learning about Vedanta? this is the philosophy that changed my life completely.

Same to you Apurva.

Natalie, I’m glad you enjoyed this subtle reminder. Just a simple shift and focus is so empowering and freeing.
