I'm feeling strange this week, in between happy and pretty damn sad. It's super hot in New York City and a ton of both great and awful things have happened. I find it's getting pretty hard to speak my mind without someone close to me getting upset at how I really feel about issues in the world. More and more I'm seeing its best to say nothing, just get work done. Actions speak louder than words, getting trapped in debates, talking very real about stuff I don't give a damn about, tends to advertise those issues and keep us polarized. I'm thinking more action and less talking is needed from everyone. Do the things we enjoy doing and support the causes we want to support and that's it. Become a verb, write that book, finish that poem art work or what have you. Anyhow, no one came to earth in "Zen" mode but Christ and reincarnated Lamas. Finding your center is a practice, its called that in every meditative discipline. Sometimes we can hit the nail and be compassionate and mindful and sometimes we don't and that's got to be fine.
Just thinking out loud about things.
