Dear Open,

I just want to thank you for writing and sharing this article today. I had a habit of skipping reading the articles and other inquiries with the feeling that I'm not having the same inquiry.
Well, today I realized even a single word from a sharing can help us in our journey greatly. The word was 'aligned,' which I picked from the article. I was feeling disconnected even after taking 3 dips in the cold Himalayan water in a nature place. I meditated, but nothing opened. I couldn't understand what's even happening. Then I read the article. And this word struck me. Everything clicked; I was feeling a sense of misalignment in me, and I was trying hard to fix it by meditating. Can I be okay in this misalignment without needing it to go? I let it go by being simply OK in it. Then I started expanding. I connected with the pool, rock beings, and the forest. It felt like I'm back. When I got this, the rock in front of me appeared to me as a big tortoise, carrying wisdom, comfortable in its speed and pace. This one opening spoke to all the distortions I've been carrying for a while. For example, the need to confront a friend or to challenge an acquaintance because I saw (judged) their interactions are misaligned. It doesn't matter whether they are aligned or not; what matters is how it's triggering me. I couldn't leave the thoughts of confronting these two people, and they were in my head for a while. Actually, they were reflecting something to me. Now I'm OK with whoever they are. Wow, what a beauty.
Today is really remarkable; I went through a karma after picking up a word from Michele's post. A big gratitude to all. 🙏

Thanks a lot😊
