New Spaces of Calm

"To be detached, is to acknowledge all,

without owning any of it."

Justin K. McFarlane Beau

Detachment is often used as a negative, such as being detached from a family or distanced from a situation; however, detachment can also mean being objective or neutral.  There are numerous scenarios when it is beneficial to draw back from overwhelming emotions to be unbiased.

Detachment allows us to view a larger picture without a tainted perspective.  It is a gesture to see the whole clearly not through just one emotion.  When we choose to be detached, we are available to listen for clarity and broader understanding.

As one develops the ability to detach (not remove or avoid) there is far less drama causing havoc in day to day living.  We can listen without becoming invested as in numerous situations our input may not be needed or wanted.  We have far less to worry about and we can fill the new spaces of calm with uplifting thoughts.
