Back in the US of A . . .
Denmark as always was a great time. Good people, interesting Nation. Caught a small cold, so I have been inside since I returned home. I have a lot to write. Travels, yoga, fundamentalism, the story of an upside down universe. . a freaky place where people thought Donald Trump was a "success", and a Sadhu was "weird".
But, as for today. . .I woke up in the morning feeling a very good state. With a clear head and reoccurring thought. . .
Truth is what is, not what we think about it.
That leads a lot of places if you follow it. But today I have not felt any desire to express in any manner the types of places it goes to. Instead all I felt today was a very real appreciation for the friendships and relationships that have woven their way together in this life.
Sangha is what is, and always was. But when you begin to realize it as existing now, that's really something.
Christian, Hindu, Jew, Muslim, Buddhist, secular idealist, once I see through to what a belief system actually is, what difference does it ever make what belief system a friend holds? The key is sincerity.
Each mythology provides it's own program book for the play thats being acted and and theater it's presented in. In the end it is what it is, regardless of the label you put on it.
It's the interconnected nature of the entire community which creates the effect of events. A mixture always. And when hearing that I don't have anything to say but thanks, and anything to feel but gratitude.
Here is something:
My goals for 2005 =
To live in a state of mind completely free of all "goals". Which means NOW.
And a qoute:
"Sometimes I feel like I'm seeing it all at once and that it's too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that's about to burst.
And then I remember to relax and stop trying to hold onto it. Then it flows through me like rain and I can't feel anything but gratitude for every single moment of my stupid little life.
You have no idea what I am talking about, I'm sure. But don't worry. . . you will some day."
