That is detachment. I dunno, but even at this stage, such a discovery may have - even now - led to a mini-meltdown for me, briefly.

This exact thing was much of my discussion with IC this week. That's a tough one for me, the never knowing part. I struggle with it. Less and less, but still. You're obviously doing better than I am on this, Awoken.
Good for you.

With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
