Without Ourselves

Wow! I recently reflected on days I spend doing yoga, burying myself naked in warm sand and taking long floating swim in ocean. That seems like the closest I come to letting go of my self. Even singing the other night in a harmonic 100 being choir , I was aware of MY sound. Those are times I am close to being without "the burden of the world" however I suspect that all these wars going on and other violence and personal trauma were still lurking in my consciousness even when I am close to lost in bliss of nature or song. I am now imagining truly letting go into selflessness.

Perhaps to let go in nature is to recognise that in nature their are cycles and times of destruction as a part of these for example in the falling of leaves in autumn and the bursting open of a seed in spring… some that lead to growth and others that lead to nourishment. Thank you for your reflections. I really vicariously enjoyed the oneness of yoga in the sand and the experience of the sea.
