Blowin in the wind

Uniform

If all cars were the same size, things would be much more uniform. 

slow down and go fast

The irony of being in a hurry is that we often don't get it done in time. I find that if I relax, slow down, and trust, somehow it all gets done. I can't really describe it at this point, but so much can happen in the space part of time. For example, I can go to bed feeling completely behind and underwater, and when I get up the next day, do my practices, and then go to "work," it's as if everything yet nothing has changed. And for some reason, the workload just feels different. Different enough that I might even think, "wow, I think I might be just about caught up."

interesting. 

Clarity

Here's the thing. No matter how clear we think we are, or how clear we think we are being, it doesn't necessarily impact what happens in the external world. If we are working a piece of material, our teacher, aka our Self, aka the external world, may still respond in a way that makes no sense. This is so we have an opportunity to really learn and absorb what it is we are working on. So when the external world responds in a way that makes no sense, stay true. Was what I said and did in complete truth and integrity? Did I have a hidden agenda that was uncovered? Can I remember not to take it personally and act from a place of sanity? From a place of non-judgement? From a place where I'm not expecting them to change, and I'm ok with the outcome because I trust the bigger picture, and know that if I really learn the lesson, it is worth whatever it is I think I have to lose?

And a box of cartoon bandaids can be a fun way to give the wounds to the ego space to heal.

Art Neville. The Funky Meters. Kept me engaged and awake 2hrs past my bedtime. It's magic, the moment. 

Changing the game

If we've done it all before, and you know what I'm talking about, and we keep on doing it, why is it so hard? Do we think it's hard out of habit? And if its hard and we keep doing it, is it because we like it, or is having "hard times" a habit? And if we've done it before, and we say we don't like it, why do we keep on keepin on if we don't like it? Or do we really like it at some level? Or are we simply out of ideas on what to do next?
