Hi Vineeto

Yes fantastic really and so opposite to the old ways…

There’s still a lot of seemingly important but actually silly inertia to being serious, so I can’t say that I am completely free of seriousness, but I’m certainly having more fun by incrementally allowing myself to have more fun and care more, and when I do, I get more confident (even though I already know, it’s that incremental experiential confirmation) that nothing is going wrong. Thought I am wobbly at times, and do get sucked temporarily into these plugholes of normalcy - but it’s all the more interesting to be more and more in tune with what’s happening in my psyche.

It’s great to increasingly see those who I used to see as the authority figures (bosses, parents, partner, other men) - that I would be scared of frankly - as fellow human beings - which means that I can see their being and their suffering is the same as mine, and that becoming happy and harmless myself is the only way to care (to lead to the result we all want).

Because we are all here doing it, living and breathing, we are all happening right now, and it’s like someone has to make the first move.

Which was Richard of course, but relatively it still feels like that…I can’t wait around for anyone else to make the move first, and I’ve already taken those steps anyway…

The actual world is the actual world and I can’t puzzle it into existence, we live in it…veils or not.

What cool creatures we are…
