Attachments

The theme for the day was “attachment”.  I spoke of attachments at length with another recovering person, focusing, in part, on the fact that any attachment, any emotional involvement, clouds our view of day to day events.  Attachments prevent us from being aware and awake, but they certainly add to the drama!  Attachments also prevent us from being free to float down the river without grasping.  I then talked with my wife, Maria, about the fact that our roof is going to require some expensive work, uncovering her attachment to the money.  I could feel myself getting drawn in to the worry but the fact is that we still have our relationship, our love and the loss of some money will not change that.
