What does it mean to ‘expect nothing’, my loves? Is it merely intention with purpose to enrich, or – is it so very much more than this?

To expect nothing is, by far, one of the most profound of Buddhist teachings – and yet, difficult at times to fully ascertain.

We believe it simply to be a matter of choice, a mindset that illuminates our path. But, more so, it illustrates our transcendence from that which disrupts our inner peace.

Imagine yourself sitting across from someone who has wronged you. How does it feel? What are you thinking?

It’s human nature to tend to our ‘wounds’, yet how do we engage our healing? By harboring the moment deeply within, or taking steps to minimize the pain?

Moving past means moving through. We must take create both the time and conditions by which we may begin to heal.

And that requires a letting go of all attachment.

The pride, the ego, the upset, the pain; the wondering why ‘he never called back’ or the belief that they ‘should never have wronged me.’

All of that, my darlings and so much more — we must learn to leave our burdens ‘at the door.’

To expect nothing is to allow all of these blessings of life to enter our soul, unimpeded.

A little something to consider, my loves ~ isn’t it time to let this pain go?

In peace…

Namaste ❤️
