Yes,I belong.

I belong to myself and I belong to you. 

My first reflection today was on the text a student sent me last evening,Ma’am,what is your opinion about relationships and marriage ? Do they ever give you a sense of belongingness? Well, what I believe in, Marriage and relationship as much belongs to you as you belong to them.Commitment too needs commitment.  

I also had a thought that the path of spirituality and self work has as much to give you as you can give to this path.The more effort I make to understand myself, better I get with myself. 

Reflecting on myself,as I start my day I belong to my plants, the joy of cycling, the T-shirt that says,”Roll for the soul”,morning cup of tea, intellectually and spiritually motivating conversations with my friend, the breathing practice,the vibrations of my therapy room,love you loads text from a dear friend,Idlis that I made,the face mask, writing and doodling,the book reading group,washroom that I scrubbed,the fear of being judged, the freedom after I understood my fear, a friend that’s been talking and silent, the yellow light of the lamp, the new pens,last but not the least...smokes and strokes....yes I belong to all these and all these belong to me. 

Belongingness cannot be locked down to a person,a place or a thought, It is not attachment.It is a connection that is felt at the moment. 

The freedom that is felt and experienced in belonging everywhere ,yet no where can best be understood and when you belong to yourself. Awareness,freedom,mindful!!!. 

Just this.
