The Process, w/Ech

Hello blog-reader! Welcome again :)

This time, I share with you something whose essence is in process too.
As Ech said it- 'Maybe try the process before you share it'
I'd say she's right and since I just had one such moment (also in process), here we are!

Now what is it that I've been blabbering on about past a whole paragraph? We shall see soon but before that allow me to express a request: This post is a bit vulnerable as it is not fully formed in the strength of its content and more than that, it actually highlights much of my own "anxieties" (for lack of another word) so please do be kind, dear reader, while you sail through it and if you find yourself resonating at places, or have your own story to share, or have experimented with 'the process' or have a way of your own, I'd be glad to hear from you!

You may read on now, I mean, right about NOW:

How are you Ech?

I am good

Your tire has worn off?

Tire?

I charged yesterday

Ha

Aha!

How did you charge?

How are you?

I find myself in the tire zone on and off,

and I've seen it tied up to my progress/degress at work

and the kind of energies I get from family

Basically I see myself being affected easily

by the swings of life

I know

You need more me time to battle on that

Yes!!

I in fact was thinking about you

How you'd said you were glad to get me time

It stayed with me

Of course

You cannot be spinning around people and things

Very true

Can you share how you go about it?

The funny thing is I've never had such issues before,

As a younger version of me,

I was much much more stable and fortified in some sense

Which probably also kept a lot of things out haha

So I went on an opening up spree

And now having done that, I know that neither is the best

and that I gotta construct a way that perhaps if it is possible

is woven with the best from both

Yes!

Best would perhaps be what truly makes me feel alive and awake,

what truly works for me..

..Thank you for listening

Been wanting to get this straight for a while now

I agree

How to engage with others but not get affected

It's difficult

Yes!

Tied up so intricately

Delicate

How to let yourself not drown in the connection

Can you share with me

Haha

The quality of your me time?

I can't share

Oh

Because I don't know much about it

Haha

Haha

I see

We can talk and see

Yes please

Talk please

Me ears

Pressure is on my side

Haha

Now, here's where O dear patient-lovely-compassionate Reader, does gyaan start flowing from an amazing human being I have had the blessing to have known and continue to gratefully engage with now and again. The best thing about her is the straightforward, to-the-point way she conducts herself thus extracting the same from those she meets.

So, here's introducing to you- Ms. Echo Ying Xiang, an Architect by profession, a pragmatic dreamer by temperament, an unassuming person with a fiery spirit and the indomitable will of a Dragon.

Conversations with such a thinker, dreamer, doer and live-r as her are always bound to bring up treasure thus far unseen or hidden and having at least introduced the persona who made this post possible and taking care of the basic dues, let us proceed with the most crucial, most magical portion of this post, that flows so clearly and sharply smooth from her being, as you shall very shortly see:

I think you know it all,

but you are not able to do it

because you don't have the time to stable yourself,

you are tired, and you don't have time to think and consolidate

I feel for what you said

Take everything

but not have the pressure

of you having to accept them or not

Just take them in

Then when you have time, think about it

Or when you feel bothered,

think why you feel bothered

Then you get a place where you stand

Then the difficult step

O.O

You'll let it go, or you do something about it

O.O

Inevitable

Because most things involve with friends, family, people we care

But you know you can't change them

True

Not over a short period of time

What can you do

If you start to change them

You'll be bothered again

Because you will fail

True

Yes




Just sneaking a line here, dear Earthmate!
To make sure you did not miss the jazz!
You may go on now~

So then?

So be yourself

Be accepting

Be persistent

And detached

It's not about you or them

You tell what you think

They tell what they think

:)

And

I am not very confident about last point

As I am not very good at it
Or not at all

I was just going to say

I am not sure I can really do the tell what I think bit

You don't have to

Because there's a long process of even understanding

whether what I think is even "true" or whether it even might matter O.O

In fact don't do most of the time

Ahh

Good 

Relief

So at least know for ourselves what we think?

Of course

Without being judgemental or try to smoothen the sharp edges

What you think and what you feel

Being aware.. Hmm

Thank you Ech

You are welcome

And now, as the gyaan trails off leaving us quite enough to chew upon for a while,
O lovely being on Earth!
You may read on, as the topic winds up easing into mutual relief :)

I like the way you spelled out the process, to take everything in

and when we find the time, to think about it

I myself couldn't really do all the things I said

I think I get that, as I barely find myself able

to do most of what may pass from me

But this helps

A sigh just escaped me

!

Me too

Pressure

Haha

Something inside feels relieved

Hahahaaa!

And let me say

How glad I am

To be able to have this connection

Me too

Thank you Ech!

That's what I shall gently leave you with, fellow being on Earth!

If you may have something to add or an insight you'd like to share, please do so unhesitatingly~

After all, we're all in this together, this adventure on Earth called LIFE!

I especially thank Ms. Echo Ying Xiang, for this precious insolubly progressive moment *

Thank you Echo!

We wish you the best and the choicest of energies to serenade you 

And visit you over and again with all their splendour and magic

Adding more joy to the blissful spark of your being

(*)

And, on occasion of Diwali,

I dedicate this post to that light in all of us, that glows bright in shyness as we sneak a glance at it occasionally when reminded of its existence and find to our astonishment, how readily it sits with us in patience and all the suppressed glee, to listen deeply and to respond with its invaluable wisdom from the illuminating sea of radiance it imbibes and holds in itself, that leetle spark in us, oh so humblingly present, and continually enriching our lives with its gifts, its essence, if only we let it ;)

--Endnote--

On mention of "Be yourself" as you may have noticed earlier on,

There is a curious note I'd like to share with you-

Something that has stayed with me

And comes to me each time I hear the above quoted phrase,

(not sparing the times I've said it myself)

How simple and true, innit?

There's truly a time, a progression,
That somehow takes care of things as they must be taken care of~

With a sincerely appreciative bow to that nebualic intelligence

Let's rest this post right here,

Right Now.
