"a genuine relationship is one that is not dominated by the ego with its image-making and self-seeking
in a genuine relationship, there is an outward flow of open, alert attention toward the other person in which there is no wanting whatsoever"
-Eckhart Tolle, A New Earth (chapter three)
when i don't get what i want
when i do get what i want
when others don't behave like i want
when others have what i want
when i don't have enough
when i have too much
when the world is unfair, cruel, victimizing
ego speaks to me...i hear you
shut up!
