Today is the last day here in the Caribbean and the regimen has been such that I won’t mind getting back home. Still, it’s thoughts like these that can be so dangerous as they belie a deeply deluded belief that things will proceed as planned; as we’ve imagined them; as we think they ought.
What is interesting to see is a mind that is so ready to jump from one branch to the next while foolishly holding the branch from which one is alighting in contempt. I don’t know if this is the way of everyone but it certainly has been my modus operandi for as long as I can remember and it’s an unskillful and unbenecificial habit to say the least. May I remember that not even the next in breath is guaranteed and to bring metta and karuna to every situation.
