Yes V, but which are you jesting about - the courgette, string bean or cucumber??
I'm having a quiet day with Mum & have been reading The Power of Now by Ekhart Tolle, which I recommend - all about spiritual enlightenment. I read a passage that resonated with me in terms of MLC and I wanted to share it. It's about the feelings of emptiness people have and what they try to do to fill the void.
"Another aspect of emotional pain...is a deep-seated sense of lack, or incompleteness, of not being whole. In some people, this is conscious, in others unconscious. If it is conscious, it manifests as the unsettling, constant feeling of not being worthy or good enough. If unconscious, it will only be felt indirectly as an intense craving, wanting and needing.
In either case people will often enter into a compulsive pursuit of ego-gratification and things to identify with in orger to fill this hole they feel within. So they strive after possessions, money, success....or a special relationship...so they can feel better about themselves - more complete.
But even when they attain these things, they soon find the hole is still there - that it is bottomless. Then they are really in trouble, because they cannot delude themselves anymore. Well, they can and do, but it gets more difficult."
Soon after BD, my H told me that he felt he had a void at the very centre of his heart. He said this in such an impassioned way, I felt we had got to the nub of what was happening for him.
