Becoming Less Burdened -

 

                                     One of my Sketches titled- Kereta Klasik or A Classic Car.

 

A vintage car carries its own quiet symbolism:

• something that has traveled a long road
• weathered, but still moving
• not rushed, not modern in its urgency
• appreciated for its character, not its speed

                                       

Title: Becoming Less Burdened

In a recent exchange, I found myself reflecting on a simple but profound question:
Are we becoming more of who we are… or drifting away from it?

With some humility, I came to this:

I feel I am becoming a better version of who I am.

Less anger.
More patience.
Less neediness.
More acceptance and surrender.

I find myself more loving, more forgiving than I once was.

And yet, it does not feel like I am adding anything new.

If anything, it feels like something is being removed.

The weight of reaction.
The urgency to control.
The need to be seen in a certain way.

What remains is quieter… but also clearer.

There was a time when I might have called this “self-improvement,” as though I had achieved something through effort. But now, it feels different.

More like a soft unfolding.

A seeing… and then a letting go.

Patience, I have come to understand, is not merely a virtue.
It is one of the most powerful tools of accomplishment.

Not the patience of waiting idly,
but the patience of not interfering with the natural timing of things.

In this, I begin to understand what it means to act without forcing,
to allow rather than impose.

To trust that what needs to unfold… will unfold.

Perhaps this is what it means to grow older in spirit.

Not to become more complex,
but to become less burdened.

Less entangled in the noise of thought and reaction,
and more at ease with what is.

I do not claim to have arrived anywhere.

Only that I am, slowly…

becoming.
