Detachment is a tool- its not a life. To be sure, there are times when detachment is necessary: when we need to be reminded of something beyond our localized perceptions, when we need a peek into a vaster reality, when we need to learn how to discern between that which serves us and that which derails us. Indeed, we are far more than our monkey mind, our neurotic attachments, our unimaginative lens. But to live in perpetual detachment is to miss the moment altogether. It is to trip out of the body that carries the karmic seeds for our transformation. It is to sidestep the clay that shapes us home. We have to grow down, to grow up.
