Labels

Letting go of labels........that was yoga class today.  Sometimes we wear so many labels, we lose our identity.   Sometimes we believe the labels that others slap across our foreheads......for good or bad.
It is good every once in awhile to spend some quiet time and strip away the labels........just let them fall where they may.......until we find the real essence of who we are.  Forget about the label of sex, of relationships, of sibling, of parent, of friend, of doctor, artist, attorney, teacher, addict, loser, stupid.......forget all those labels.......remember who we really are.......human beings with the capacity to love and be loved.......and then let go of the human label.......we are spiritual beings with the capacity to love and be loved......that is it......that is who we are.

  2. Greetings Jilda,

    I have come here via the recommendation of our friend Julia who has left the first comment.

    Your posting is profound and an ideal dear to my heart. We are not labels and we don't need convenient tags to stigmatise and stereotype us. In essence, the spirituality of our pure, non-judgemental love is all that really matters.

    Thank you for this.

    In peace and goodwill,

    Gary
