What's Mine

I start this day in a state of mind that allows me to see myself a bit better. A state that allows me to see my yesterday and yesterdays better. I can see that I have been getting caught up with being possessive. I titled this post "What's Mine" because that is one issue I have been struggling with lately. It doesn't really matter the content of my particular issue, it seems that this is a common experience. I can see as I struggle with this from my view, there are others with counter views that struggle as well, in their own particular ways.

So "What's Mine" anyways. Really this morning, I can't find anything that I can say is really mine! Is the things I have purchased mine, defined by some human made law perhaps. Who made them the possession of the one whom I purchased them from in the first place? Really I can't say that anything is mine. I see today that the best I can say is that I borrow everything. I eat but what goes in comes back out, in one way or another, eventually, so it is returned in one form or another eventually. So all my food or drink, sustenance, is borrowed.

I can't keep anything forever, eventually all of it is returned in some state or another. All of 'my possessions' will eventually leave me. So I just borrow them for limited times, some longer some shorter.

Really even my body will eventually return back to the earth or the universe, I just borrow it for a life time, by the way which is an undetermined length of time.

Is my soul mine, or is my soul? Again I find that I am just borrowing, borrowing everything. Nothing is mine. If nothing is mine why struggle with the possessiveness of anything.

This can perhaps be a challenging concept for some but can be freeing if you let it.

Thank You
