Getting Needs Met
Friday, March 29, 2013
You are reading from the book The Language of Letting Go
Getting Needs Met
Picture yourself walking through a meadow. There is a path opening before you. As you walk, you feel hungry. Look to your left. There's a fruit tree in full ripe. Pick what you need.
Steps later, you notice you're thirsty. On your right, there's a fresh water spring.
When you are tired, a resting place emerges. When you are lonely, a friend appears to walk with you. When you get lost, a teacher with a map appears.
Before long, you notice the flow: need and supply, desire and fulfillment. Maybe, you wonder, someone gave me the need because someone planned to fulfill it. Maybe I had to feel the need, so I would notice and accept the gift. Maybe closing my eyes to the desire closes my arms to its fulfillment.
Demand and supply, desire and fulfillment -- a continuous cycle, unless we break it. All the necessary supplies have already been planned and provided for this journey.
Today, everything I need shall be supplied to me.

LMN,
ya know I kinda knew of this book. I know about the movie and a couple I know worked through this book years ago. But when you brought it up. I thought that I didn't even want to know. Wasn't going to buy it or look into in. It is somewhat depressing, to say the least, when your partner is addicted and not putting ANYTHING what so ever into "fixing" the relationship. You can't really do what you need to when it is one sided...
Anyway, some of the things that you have posted on here are good to hear..
Maybe I will change my mind and go get it

I almost didn't post about it because the codie in me felt it might be painful for others. I usually feel the need to only post the negatives for those reasons. Ugh But the good thing about this book is that it can be applied to anyone or any relationship. I think it would be a great book to do as a family....I am sorry I missed that opportunity.
