Good article on Buddhist Attachment Theory

This topic is near and dear to my heart, too, bballgirl.  Thanks for sharing.  I struggle with it at various times, but at the core of me I "get it" and embrace The Law of Detachment.  

It's a broad concept to discuss.  

I resonated with the article you shared.  I am both attached and detached from my husband.  I love him like no other human being on this earth.  I am enamored by him, actually.  If I think of losing him for whatever reason, I experience that throat clutch that can only come from grief -- and that's just from the mere thought of losing him.  That's my human side, super attached.  But, at the same time, I offer him (and me) freedom while I practice "detachment."  I know at the core of myself that this won't last forever (nothing does).  I am appreciating our love now, and every "now" we get.  It's a deep appreciation based on the knowledge it will end some day.  Somehow.  I don't expect him to be responsible for my happiness and my well being.  That's always up to me.  Always.  

On the topic of dying/death, I think here in the States, especially, we avoid the "death of things."  Other countries celebrate death and they face it head-on.  Dare I say, they are happier beings for it (while they are alive). 

All things die.  All moments end.  

Knowing that is not meant to be a depressing thing, but, rather, quite contradictory, knowing that brings deep joy to the now somehow.  It's amazing, really. 

I like this find on the 'net, too:
