Should

I don't want to know what I should do. I want to know where the should comes from.

Through this inquiry, I discover that should is an echo, a ghost of the past, which has nothing to do with Presence. Presence is where I respond to life, where I discover response-ability without any should.

A wise counselor advised me to gracefully let go of should. But it kept gracefully returning. So I grabbed the should by its throat, dragged it to the top of Mount Sinai, and threw it back into the fire.

Should is the fear of judgment. Take away Judgment Day, and only now remains. Pure presence, free from judgment, is Love.
