Detached

Medellín, Colombia

One of the biggest reasons I love traveling the world is because it gives me this feeling of belonging to it all and yet to nowhere in particular.

It’s a pretty expansive feeling.

Then I peeled back a layer that showed me a doorway into its deeper truth, taking the world from wide to deep

The truth that

All that I am, everything that has happened to me has been passed down for millennia after millennia. 

All the wounds have already been cut. All the pain has already been felt. All the experiences have already been had.

The paradoxical dichotomy of belonging to it all and yet nowhere in particular expands to a higher truth, one that touches so deep it passes beyond the breastbone of humanity. A truth few will be able to grasp firmly.

It brings a piercing clarity that everything belongs to us all and yet no One in particular.

It’s all a part of our interconnectedness, what makes us part of one, of a collective. 

I, you, her, him, she, they….we are all but vessels to carry the ancestral loads until they become light or we realize we needn’t carry them at all. The script will be rewritten until we understand none of it is actually ours. 

And that’s how we release.

By knowing it is not ours to begin with lets us drop our hands to let it all fall away. Recognizing we have the choice for it to continue to be ours or to let it go.

By understanding that it was never ours to begin with, we stop taking ownership of it. We allow it to fade into nothingness, unfed and starved by detachment.

This is how we release, how we transcend and expand, and how we elevate.
