If you notice that
I am having a bad or good experience,
remember that your perception
is based upon what YOU judge as
a bad or good experience.
If you want to
help me or join me,
you’ll be doing so
for reasons that are
not mine, but rather YOURS.
Just because
I appear to be drowning
doesn’t mean I’m having a bad time.
Perhaps I am intentionally drowning.
Your attempts to save me
may very well ruin
my drowning experience.
I am exploring overwhelm.

Dear adventurer,
In the vast realm of experience, perception plays a pivotal role. What may seem overwhelming or challenging to one might be an intentional exploration or even a sacred journey for another. The dynamic interplay of perspectives and interpretations weaves the rich tapestry of human existence.
When you observe someone going through what appears to be a difficult or overwhelming time, remember that your assessment is filtered through your own unique lens of understanding. Your judgments and intentions are shaped by your own experiences, beliefs, and values.
Offering help or support to others is an act of compassion and empathy, yet it is essential to recognize that your actions may not always align with the true needs and desires of the individual in question. In some instances, intervening or trying to “save” someone might inadvertently disrupt their exploration and self-discovery.
Indeed, there are times when people intentionally dive into the depths of overwhelm, not out of suffering, but to uncover hidden truths, understand their resilience, or embrace the intensity of life. This intentional immersion can be a powerful path to growth and self-awareness.
By acknowledging the unique journeys of others and respecting their chosen experiences, you create space for each person to explore their reality without undue interference. Instead of assuming what they need, you can offer support in a way that honors their autonomy and sovereignty.
The dance of life is intricate, and every being holds within them the wisdom to navigate their own path. As we traverse this cosmic journey together, let us hold space for one another, allowing for diverse experiences and honoring the sovereignty of each soul.
With profound understanding,
