Are you the “Ultimate You”?
Zen Bliss — have you ever heard of this? I think it’s something my best friend made up — well, the name anyway, not the actual feeling. I was reading one of her old blog entries today and thinking about several recent telephone conversations that we’ve had. Her definition of Zen Bliss is “being comfortable in ones own skin”. She is lucky enough that she knows where to find her Zen Bliss. I know what makes me happy, but being happy is not finding Zen Bliss.
I envision Zen Bliss as a fleeting moment where you’re completely at peace with yourself — ALL of yourself … Inner Peace is something that I don’t have a lot of … probably comes with the depression, who knows.
I also caught the end of Freaky Friday (the new one with Jamie Lee Curtis & Lindsay Lohan) while channel cruising the other night - which is where this entry’s title comes from - the song she sings at the end… After reading her post about Zen Bliss, I started thinking about it and the song was playing and wondered how you would become the “Ultimate You” - and would this also be a fleeting thing, like her Zen Bliss — is it maybe Zen Bliss or is it like another side of the same coin? Things to think about …
I also know I haven’t posted on my blog in a while. I was blocked. I had stopped wanting to tell the story I was telling and I did not want to tell the story that I was living at the moment.
I’ve had difficulties with depression for years, and some difficulties I’m experiencing at work have just made it worse right now. So Zen Bliss is something that’s completely missing at the moment, but something I think I’ll try looking for again soon.
What do you envision Zen Bliss as being? Have you ever found it - even fleetingly?? These are questions that it’s very difficult to answer, even in the privacy of your own mind…
