To all the beautiful weirdos! So true about renunciation emerging organically. Another way of saying this is you get more interested in simplifying!

When I first came to the Dharma, I remember thinking what a painful sacrifice it would be to become a Buddhist monastic. But then I began meeting them—from many different lineages and traditions over the years—and realized few felt they’d given up anything except attachments. Their freedom inspired me to look at renonciation in an entirely different way—just as you described — not giving anything up but rejecting that which limits, constricts, and pains. Many blessings 💜
