Another Snippet of Zen Wisdom
Meditation is running into reality. It does not insulate you from the pain of life. It allows you to delve so deeply into life and all its aspects that you pierce the pain barrier and go beyond suffering.
-Bhante Henepola Gunaratana, "Mindfulness in Plain English"
Sometimes, you just have to share.
In case anyone is wondering, I'm doing quite well. I made a few major changes in my life recently and it's like I'm walking upright again after carrying a boulder on my back. It's one of those life lessons...I gotta get into the habit of making changes like this sooner, rather than later.
It's all part of my personality, I suppose. I rather cling to the past sometimes...
But...WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO.....I'm free, free, Free, Free, FREE!!
