However I think we can become deleted because 1) people are draining us of energy (consciously or unconsciously) and 2) we are not open to the flow of universal love which is there/here as a constant source of replenishment. I rediscovered this in April when I started my morning meditation by clearing any foggy or grey energy from my field and then focusing on bringing the light of the sun into my solar plexus and allowing it to fill me completely. What a perfect way to begin the day (no matter HOW you wake up.) I’m not sure we can truly empty ourselves by giving love.

Experiencing energy in motion (e-motion) without resistance (judgment) allows the emotion to keep moving without encountering an opposing force, so it does what it was meant to do...move through you. A great lesson. Funny how that works ;) .

Like when you're stuck waiting for an urgent package that was promised to you an hour ago, and someone else is asking about that report inside, you'll be able to consider when your temper flares, what made it flare, what you could say, what you could do (like find a different delivery service), and practice it in your imagination. One of my triggers is being expected to drop everything 5 minutes after I got to sit down and do my own thing again. I'm trying to remind myself of where things are improving, and come up with ideas for how to reduce the need for my direct involvement.

I too know that feeling well. I'm an introvert always wanting to fit in with the crowd but at the same time savor my own solitude and never letting anyone get too close. This prose is written beautifully. I like that there are people like yourself who want to be an astronaut at one point in time. Constant wandering. I too know that feeling well.

In my case, I was a lonely child with a rather remote mother. My father died when I was 12 and my brother lived in his own mental illusions. So I found a white horse that used to graze within sight of my classroom window. That horse kept my soul smiling! I know that feeling of looking for a constant in a wnadering childhood.
