It’s been cool and very wet but that hasn’t stopped things from needing to be around the place.  It does mean that at the end of the day I am tired and want to preserve some small amount of time for a return to quiet either by some simple walking or sitting quietly before sleep demands its due.   Since I’m on the computer all day long for work as it is I often times just don’t want to be on even longer during the evening.  Its also difficult to find the right balance between just gabbing (which I don’t do very well – just ask my wife) and boring folks senseless with the stuff that I find interesting but very difficult to write about.

We all have hidden, inner lives.  We all are looking to make sense of what we see and hear.  At any point in time there are only six things happening:  We’re either smelling, seeing, feeling, tasting,  or hearing something or experiencing something of the mind – a thought, memory, emotion, etc. – and from these very simple sources we fashion an entire outer universe and a lifelong inner world that we either come to understand and learn from or push away and block from view.   Usually it’s a mix of the two I guess.  Be patient and compassionate towards those who have difficulty with the aspects of all this that you find so very easy to deal with.  Be aware that you are the object of someone else’s compassionate inclinations for your own inability to see what you are unable or unwilling to see.   Life is a dream – strive to wake up.
