Full and empty – Lleno y vacío
There are days when I wake up wanting to do so many things…I feel full of life, of energy, of optimism, of plans…
There are other days however, when I really dont feel like doing anything. I just want to sleep or simply practice the “non doing”. I used to think it was wrong to feel this way, but I now believe both feelings are ok. We are changing beings. We are not the same every day and it´s good to accept that. The day is as beautiful as the night, the light as the darkness, sorrow as joy…and we are between them both, dancing. I want to learn how to embrace them as two parts of me, as a reflection of my own light and darkness, only that way i´ll be able to be one, to be complete in integrity, with all parts loved and accepted.
Today I see my bowl a bit empty. I´ll relax and rest, silence my mind and feel with out holding on to anything. That way when it´s full I´ll cherish it, appreciate it and enjoy it.
How do you feel today?
Hay días en los que uno se levanta con tantas ganas de hacer tantas cosas..Te sientes lleno de vida, de energía de optimismo, de planes..
Hay otros sin embargo en los que no te apecete hacer nada. Sólo tienes ganas de dormir o simplemente de ” no hacer”. antes creía que estaba mal sentirse así, pero ahora pienso que ambos estados son válidos. Somos personas volubles y cambiantes. No somos las mismas todos los días y hay que aprender a aceptar eso. Tan hermoso es el día como la noche, la luz, como la oscuridad, la tristeza como la alegría…Y nosotros nos hallamos bailando entre las dos. Quiero aprender a abrazarlas a ambas como partes de mí, como reflejo de mi propia luz y oscuridad, sólo así podré encontrar ser una persona íntegra con todas sus partes amadas y aceptadas.
Hoy mi tazón lo veo un poco vacío. Me relajaré y silenciaré mi mente y sólo sentiré sin aferrarme a nada. Así cuando se llene seré capaz también de sentirlo, disfrutarlo y apreciarlo.
Cómo te sientes tú hoy?
Thank you for your words…… I do recognise myself in them and it feels nice. You made me smile today! Love your blog.
