What I am realizing is this: It’s not so much pleasure itself than I distrust. It is my response to pleasure wherein lies the suspicion. I am afraid I will be lost in it ………… Hmmmm …………. What or Who is “I”? I = my ego, which is what “I” consists of in Western culture?? I = my inherent Buddha-nature, which I want so much to believe in & to manifest???
Anyway, here’s a pic of a relationship that gives me great pleasure, & in which both definitions of “I” are only enhanced.

Pleasure always seems to come with a dash of guilt (in my world). I am working on separating the two, making progress but setbacks happen.
Your dog is such a cutie! What breed?
Guilt has been, still is, a big factor in many of my responses…………
It’s actually my dad’s dog, from a rescue group, Pet Adoption League. Corgi – Pomeranian mix — funny looking! Very very sweet guy, Theo.
Relaxed, Happy, Loving! What an amazing photo!
I feel the energy, the peace, the “I’ve got it all right here”
look in your eyes!
Thank you so much for sharing!
Glad that peaceful energy shines through — Theo is one of my best buddies:)
One of my pleasure
