Detachment

As I was speaking of it today, I can only get a feeling of deep, selfless, formless love if I detach from everything in the created order, and then focus my being on my awareness of the Self that exists as part of the absolute.  A part of myself that is totally free, not attached to anything material.  By detach I do not mean, to not enjoy or participate in, in fact I may enjoy those things more, but I do not hold on to them or try to make them something they are not.  For example my job, a spring day or just a breeze, are all very transient and trivial with regards to eternity, but also a wonderful part of the present.  They are “what is” and I take delight in that.
