today I noticed my efforts to be invisible, to not cause trouble, to not leave marks wherever I go, to be unreachable so I can't receive anything others try to offer me.
I was letting all these thoughts pass, and I was feeling all that arrived with that, when I saw those birds in this picture. they were not trying to be anything. they were not flying for me to take their picture and they were not trying to avoid being seen by me. they were doing their thing.
and I saw them. and maybe I saw myself.

I just finished the episode. :)
I had this question since I was teenager, at least: "how can I tell kids that they can be what they want to be?". and I married the person who answered the question with unschooling.
the question have changed, maybe to "what is obstructing my view of who my kids are in present moment?" That's mostly what I think I need to offer space for my kid's potential to bloom.
now we have two kids here that have never been to school and it was so nice to hear more about Sylvia's story. I started to imagine us at a place to be, although we don't live near there. but it can change. sending my best wishes for both of you and your projects!
I loved both episodes and I can't wait to hear more.
I think I was always touched by other people feelings and I've been observing my reactions to that for sometime now and yes, I learn a lot about myself this way. I used to try to change the other person's feelings as fast as I could and that's something I notice a lot. when I realize I'm doing that I just take a step back and see what I'm feeling. just like I did before.
I also feel that my writings disarm my thoughts and sometimes I'm surprised with what comes to light. I'm happy to hear you do this and you were not attached to the feelings you wrote about. It's good to read what you write.
thank you for the attentive answer. I felt heard and hugged. :)
I was sad reading that, wanted to tell you a lot of things to make you feel better, but I'll start just feeling this sadness I'm feeling and I didn't know was here waiting to come out.
maybe being who you are, even when you are frustrated and judging yourself, can be enough and deeply touch someone.
hahaha I was a little confused, but now it's all clear! ♥️ it's good to set these limits, then you can be fully present here and outside.
everytime I see one of your posts I want to say I'm glad you're back. ♥️ now I'm here.

I've been researching, and specially observing feelings and emotions and their connections with the sensations in the body for about 10 years. I think since I was a kid I used to pay a lot of attention to other people's feelings. later I started to pay attention to my own feelings and emotions, specially the ones I try to hide from myself. so when you say that about emotions I completely agree.
I wrote a book with some cards like an oracle, but it's in Portuguese. I've been thinking about translating that, but it don't know yet. but I'd love to join you all if you create a group or something.
yes, it is. ♥️
thank you for bringing that.
I'd love to hear more about the concept of time you're thinking about. I also like to think about it.
that's it. I mostly question my own thoughts and this conversation helped me see that I was holding something. I was afraid of expressing my thoughts because "I must question and be open" and everything I say seems closed. but it is true that all I say is closed if I'm not willing to be transformed by the conversation, if I'm afraid of losing all my beliefs haha so it brought me to experience letting go these beliefs of not believing as a way to experience.
I'm sorry, I'll send that even thinking it is confusing, but this really touched me.
I don't know if we have to believe it to feel. we just must quit the belief that we don't deserve - cause that's the belief that keeps us from experiencing. it's not a matter of deserving, it's just what is, so we don't have to act positively towards what is. we just rest in that.
