No matter how much we'd like to abandon them, some items can never be left behind. But sometimes, just sometimes, we are fortunate enough to encounter a fellow traveller who can graciously lend a hand, ease the burden and lighten the load.annullahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653591034892685511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566568.post-1163220597222459342006-11-11T06:49:00.000+02:002006-11-11T06:49:00.000+02:00cool post. muchos kudos.some doors shouldn't be o...cool post. muchos kudos.<BR/><BR/>some doors shouldn't be opened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566568.post-1163186177235653882006-11-10T21:16:00.000+02:002006-11-10T21:16:00.000+02:00saals this struck a chord...im not immune to it ei...saals this struck a chord...im not immune to it either...we all carry that baggage, that dissapointment, that hurt, that pain, those bad memories in front of us - hoping that will protect us from getting hurt again.<BR/><BR/>what we dont realise is that it actually prevents us from taking a chance again....<BR/><BR/>nice post:)))))zeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11155095363220386703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566568.post-1163175351297270602006-11-10T18:15:00.000+02:002006-11-10T18:15:00.000+02:00this would make a BRILLLIANT monologue.

It's one thing to say...and another thing to do. Ego driven mental baggage, emotional baggage, etc make it hard for us to choose what to dump, and what to take...often leading us to take everything now and decide later.<BR/><BR/>It's the reason some never get over their past...or acheive their desired future. <BR/><BR/>Great metaphor Saaleha....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566568.post-1163057343509684272006-11-09T09:29:00.000+02:002006-11-09T09:29:00.000+02:00Hi.This is good posting He!He!He! .Baggage Hmmmm "...Hi.This is good posting He!He!He! .<BR/>Baggage Hmmmm "Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough"And if you desire to live like a sufi then "you must give up the luggage of your desires and wishes and thus make life less burdensome" Yes my friend I agree with your writting. :).<BR/>Wish you wellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566568.post-1163011423264279612006-11-08T20:43:00.000+02:002006-11-08T20:43:00.000+02:00i seriously think you need to get published.you ju...i seriously think you need to get published.<BR/>you just have a way with words...<BR/><BR/>but yes, we limp around with too much luggage...we need to let go and walk kalgat :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566568.post-1162983143709576812006-11-08T12:52:00.000+02:002006-11-08T12:52:00.000+02:00Yo, Point me to the carousels ekse, my back is sor...Yo, Point me to the carousels ekse, my back is sore.<BR/><BR/>*limp* *limp*<BR/><BR/> M.Muhammadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08583045828441649786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6566568.post-1162969140020943682006-11-08T08:59:00.000+02:002006-11-08T08:59:00.000+02:00poetic stuff.

It'll only weight you down and cause problems.
