Day 3,929
This quote really struck a chord with me this morning. Be warned, it’s sounds more than a little dark, but deeply insightful. For sure, it’s not nearly as certain as it sounds, more of how things can feel throughout life as we get older.
When I looked up at my father as a boy, I thought being a man was having control. Being the master and commander of your own destiny. How could any boy know that freedom is lost the moment you become a man. Things start to count. To press in. Constricting slowly, inevitably, creating a cage of inconveniences and duties and deadlines and failed plans and lost friends.

In so many ways this explains the feeling of attachment. The more we have, the more we are stressed to keep it. The more nervous we become about losing it. The less likely to stay present as we have now created the space for worry.
Very insightful, I’m very glad to be reading this series again to stumble upon this.
Thanks!!!
