Sadness
Living with regrets and following your gut
I asked my friend today how he was. Physically or mentally? he asked. I replied — emotionally and spiritually. His response was, I live with eternal sadness.
I hear you, I said. There is a peculiar sadness that comes with regret. A kind of, hollow lowness, a glum in the tum. My friend sees his sorrow as a kind of penance for acting against his better wisdom; when his gut told him otherwise.
He told me of the pivotal point where, despite a foreboding in his gut, he went ahead and, in his case, engaged in a relationship with a woman who didn’t have his heart in her heart.
Do you know that density in the belly? The siren alarm-feel of danger, or warning? How many times have you ignored this and gone on to make a colossal wrong turn in your life? I know you know. I know you can make a statement of exactly when. We remember the dense feeling. And hopefully, we learn by now that it is definitely absolutely not to be ignored.
Don’t turn your back on yourself.
You are only human of course, but this is exactly why we have these antennae somewhere between the solar plexus and the sacral chakra. That part of our vibrational perception that knows what lays ahead even though we couldn’t possibly know, and yet we do.
