‘In the stillness of the mind, I saw myself as I am — unbound.”
— Nisargadatta Maharaj
In the quiet of the evening when there is no one else awake but me, and the animals have ceased to stir, I am still. Softness uncovers me and opens me to the night, which is less expectant than the day. I find myself unburdened by yesterday and tomorrow, allowed to swim in the here and now, nothing left to do. At these times, I see myself as as I am, outer shell removed, nothing left to constrict.
The lights are low, the sounds are subtle and muted by darkness, and I am about to fall asleep, but I thought I sneak in just this one little post.
It’s been awhile since I joined in with Lingerie is For Everyone, but tonight I found myself, curled up in bed in nothing but cotton panties and a cotton tank top. It may not be the sexiest “lingerie,” but I love the comfort of it…the “no-one-is-here-to-care” of it… Even the shades of gray contribute to the washed out simplicity of this get-up I’m wearing for no one.
Tomorrow, Mr. D will be back from His conference, and I’ll be back to sleeping nude the way He likes it. But, when He’s away, this is my preference.
This is me…unbound.
Beautiful image, and your words paint a lovely peaceful image too!
