The need to please, the difference between how women and mothers live their lives vs how men and boys and husbands live their lives is as different as night and day.<br /><br />The one thing that I related to most was how you recognize that you are not into superficial surface small talk. Neither am I. It bores the bejesus out of me. I too am looking to have deep conversations about spirit. Not GOD because GOD and I are having a few problems at this moment. I know two things to be truth. I KNOW that there is something at play in this universe that is much more than ME. Some all knowing entity that is working just as it should even if it does not always fit into my daily schedule. The other truth I KNOW is that NO ONE has an easy go of it. We all have our difficulties, etc. No one gets a free ride and knowing that makes me more empathetic to everyone on the planet.<br /><br />I love your writing and the way you express your life so breifly but so accurately too.<br /><br />Keep it coming my dearLynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03565095346392025100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4471537853509668099.post-64179750513059411402009-09-22T14:00:50.105-04:002009-09-22T14:00:50.105-04:00Rekha,

I watch the children of today and am amazed at how clear they are about their 'big picture' goals. They probably do not know whether they want to be a doctor or a historian - but they definitely know their definition of happiness - what is negotiable and what is not for their own peace of mind. <br /><br />I feel it is not about desiring to achieve anything - it is more about doing what brings you joy - the end result may not be worth anything in the world of economics or to society as we know it. I write because I love to - whether or not anyone thinks it is good does not matter. I enjoy writing each word - I relish each thought as it goes through my mind and comes out on the screen. The rest is immaterial!<br /><br />Thanks for reading my work with so much care. Pls continue to comment. I enjoy these conversations.Bubu Nandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15434263759048760752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4471537853509668099.post-91157604293989071162009-09-22T13:10:19.103-04:002009-09-22T13:10:19.103-04:00For one thing it surprises me that you feel you ha...For one thing it surprises me that you feel you have not lived as per your true aspirations! Yes true, one is forever seeking approval or in some cases rebelling against others' expectations, particularly in the early years. But at the same time one is exploring and seeking to figure out what one's true calling is. Only a few of us <br />know early on in life what we truly want to do. Most of us choose to do that which comes easy and helps make a good living. And fair enough! It is only later in life, after you are financially secure and your children are on their own, that you think of the luxury of persuing what your heart desires. I feel that is the stage at which you Bubu seem to be reaching.<br /><br />Assuming that making a living was never an issue and there was total freedom to do whatever one wished, it would still take much seeking to find out what one really wants to make of one's life. I still have not found it. I have these vague urges do something concrete for the needy, but the conviction of my desire is not strong enough for me to rock the boat, just take off leaving behind responsibilities that I have willingly taken on.<br /><br />What do you say?<br /><br /> <br /><br />Sometimes, when I findAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12399926718777016940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4471537853509668099.post-4835831836340572972009-09-22T12:37:21.090-04:002009-09-22T12:37:21.090-04:00Wow!
