A few things I learned on my travels....as I reflected in the night, sat and looked out the window, took time to breath...etc. Like my last trip, I spent much less time talking to strangers or just finding a place and sitting for hours...
When I write about my life and how I see the passage, I am clear that we are all made from the same spit and that if someone sneezes in Tibet, it will affect me. I am clear that we control little but have choices about how we approach life and how we react to the movie that is call...this is my life. I intellectually know that nothing is permanent and that I will cause suffering to myself if I believe otherwise and that everything is perfect for this time, players and place.....BUT when I see my life changing, people coming and going, things not happening the way I think they should, or I get a case of my own drama of being able to fix things, make other’s lives happy, do things to “perfection” etc... I hurt.
Life is simple – do the best you can at every second, be mindful knowing that nothing is permanent, you are not the creator nor the controller, and that spending a Nano second thinking “would have, should have, could have”....is a waste of precious time. Things are just things and it is your personal integrity and compassion that matters. If there is any regret about anything, take the knowledge and intent with you....for surely, there will be other opportunities to practice what has been learned..... and so bonny’s life journey goes on.
