Mysteries of reality number twenty six
Loss is usually not convenient. To lose the most precious thing
penetrates your soul. For a family man that preciousness is expressed through
his children, and perhaps his wife, but the children are half him and the wife
can be let go of, often without regret. The children have always bled when you
bled and have always been there, whether they, or you, like it or not. When
there is action without words it can be the most powerful rejection beyond
imagination. This reality demands a new life, but the first family took all
your available energy. This new life will find you, probably in a new location
and with a new way of supporting them. This is quite literally fight or die.
Your main enemy is your Self and it is your Self that your family rejects. They
have no control over your selfless love, only over their own actions, but you
reap what you sow and you have been told to harvest elsewhere. How could
anything hurt more than this? The attitude of courage is thrusting the chin
forwards. In previous centuries you pointed to your own chin and invited the
other to strike a blow, if he dared. One thing from Tai Chi Chuan, “stick” to
the opponent and all will be sorted, most especially, to your advantage. This
often needs to be uncovered. This is the beginning of wonder, relaxing in a
posture Taoist fashion, but lively and active.
