When to stop, when to change

The time to stop…………

There comes a time when the pain of continuing exceeds the pain of stopping. At that moment, a threshold is crossed. What seemed unthinkable becomes thinkable. Slowly, the realization emerges that the choice to continue what you have been doing is the choice to live in discomfort, and the choice to stop what you have been doing is the choice to breathe deeply and freely again. Once that realization has emerged, you can either honor it or ignore it, but you cannot forget it. What has become known can not become unknown again.
Follow your heart; it will tell you when it is time.

Dear ones,
Glad you enjoyed some of my posts. I am a writer, a Zen Buddhist and borrower of any spiritual wisdom I can find, that directs me along the path.

I am happy to dialogue, if you want, and if I can figure out how to do it.

Peace be yours,
Robert

Hi again Bhikku

Thank you for your willingness to dialogue, although truly I personally feel there is no need. The spiritual wisdoms you place here say it all and more anyway. Thanks for contributing them.

Namaste

The other thing is to all reading this....
I find it fascinating that computers and the net have opened the way to all walks of life now. To be able to come together and share our insights and wisdom in this simple way.
