Hmm. The Tao te Ching says to be like water. Relax into it and you can find your level, while you carve a path through the mountains. Go with the flow.
And then love demands that we stand up and fight. Brace ourselves against the stones and be a dam, if we give a damn.
What's the right approach? How do we know?
It sounds like you're going through some of your own transformations. The house is sparkling, so I think you're taking the right approach. When Kafka went through his metamorphosis, it wasn't pretty. Something tells me yours will be. Because when you shed all that dead skin you didn't make a nest out of it, you shined the floor.

This is lovely, and I suspect you knew it would go straight to my heart :) Thank you for that, friend.
I reckon it depends what perspective we're asking from. The enlightened way? Probably living free of attachment in its many forms would be for the best. Except we're human. We need one another.
Aw. I would clean the house more often if I knew it warranted such fine compliments ;) Thank you. I'm quite enjoying this change too, even if it doesn't necessarily come easy. I suppose no good thing does, you know?
How have you been?:)
