It is within all of us, yet what shape is it going to take? More importantly, what shape are you going to give it? In terms of sustainability, one simply can't skip forever and, therefore, must find an alternative. I'd have to call it "soul skipping" then. Often found in terms of humorous activities under the label of compassion toward oneself, in a sub-rubric titled "How not to take oneself too seriously and be patient with it". Emotions are the thoughts to which you have given colourful energies and the feelings travelling along with them can make for healthy or not so healthy friends. You seem to have a rather healthy arsenal of healthy ones under your belt and we all gain from it, especially you. Thanks for your candor and presence of heart & spirit. Namaste :)
