Zen and the Art of Helena Maintenence
The intensity continues to cycle all around you, but if you remain flexible, you can manifest a wonderful peace even in the midst of turmoil. The eye of a hurricane is a weird place, for as still as everything is, you must stay on high alert every moment in case the energy shifts. So be ready for action, for change is definitely in the air.
This is today's horrorscope. I don't think I like it. It's a good thing I think it's all crap, otherwise I'd have to be worried.
Nevermind that the eye of the hurricane* is exactly where I feel like I am right now.
*With all due respect to everyone in the Carolinas right now waiting for the real thing
On a related note, here is the Buddhist thought for the day:
Detachment is a state, it is not a totalisation of achieved indifferences.
- Fingers Pointing Toward the Moon by Wei Wu Wei
I have been trying lately to detach myself (that is - my "Self", my ego) from the chaos that always seems to be swirling around me. But perhaps what I have been achieving instead is indifference. Not the same thing, as my good friend Wu Wei has been kind enough to point out.
Hence my existing in the eye of the storm, which is not the same as observing the storm and moving on. Some part of me remains on high alert, which I am pretty sure is not the path to peace of mind. I may be distanced from much of it for now, but it is false and it won't last.
Do I enjoy the peace I have now for what it is, or do I throw myself back into the fray and try to really make peace with things?
Does anyone else even understand what I am saying or does this only make sense to the person who is home sick and, for lack of better entertainment, contemplating her life (never a good combination).
Reading:
The Internets
The Inside of my Eyelids.
Hearing:
Streaming a radio station that my friend wanted to listen to when she stopped by to make my sick ass a cup of cappucino. Bless her.
Needing:
My headache to go away. The caffiene definately helped some. But what I really need is to stop being sick now. I'm ready.
In My Car CD Player:
Nada.
