ειμαστε ολοι σε απεξαρτηση

we are all addicted

we are all 

we are a

we are all coming out of a great addiction 

recovering

numbed out 

the addiction of reacting to everything 

to compulsively over feed ourselves with stimuli 

instead of observing 

just some of us, have mastered the skill of observation and distance

not rejection 

not suppression 

observation and distance 

observing, recognising , responding instead of just compulsively reacting to every stimuli - samsara - that occurs in the body - in the screen of consciousness 

in the "environment"

actually it is just observations, thoughts, feelings, they are all the same. 

what is different, is who is reacting-responding to them. 

the subject not the object

so we are all addicted, or recovering from addiction, 

one or the other, form of addiction, they are all the same. 

they have various ways of manifestation, 

but they are all the same

they ask to be fed, hugged, loved. 

that is all. 

and I choose to love and accept and honor myself. 

i practice self compassion, self hugs, self massage. 

and a lot of observation 

when i am calm enough to allow sensations to arise and let go. 

arise and let go.
