For me, very early in the Sunday
walking market process, I start to zone out. I buy a pair of pants,
a shirt or two and quit. I don't need things for my hair, or toes,
and surely not the black vegetable gelatin that you put sugar on and
still taste like slime to me. So I walk about and snap a shot or two
until the over bright florescent lights get in the way of any kind of
a decent shot in a fast/slow moving crowd. I have found that I am
getting closer to Haiku thinking... I.e. I saw a very beautiful
young Asian woman walk past me... and thought there is a a very
beautiful young Asian woman walking past me....and once you take the
judgment out...is is just “passing”... two life forms are
passing.... for those that worry about me...I am fine, just refining
my aliveness. I am determined not to be dying. Again,.. nothing is
wrong. We are all dying....but I want to be in the process of “now”
re birthing. Again, do not worry that I am joining the
fundamentalist.
While I had a nice conversation with my
new acquaintance, I watched people, particularly couples. Very few
were really at the same place but they were trying to accommodate so
no matter where they were, they were attached. She wanted to look at
jewelry, he looked at jewelry. She stopped looking and he stopped
looking but they were TOGETHER. I wonder if he were by himself he
would say, gosh...think I will go look at jewelry. I wondered it he
were to say, I want to go to the mury fight would she say, I want to
look at jewelry. If she is afraid of losing him, she will cheer for
the blue trunks fighter and dream of jewelry. If
she thinks she can control him, she will pout until they are looking
at jewelry. So is that an adult relationship or two perpetual
teenagers?
There appears to be two paths, one
where you are mindlessly bumping along to the next day and
adventure in a state of getting older
and in a process of dying or you are awake and aware of what you need
to gain wisdom. Both get old and the end is death, but the wise
person is aware. Awake and alive to their own soul and personal
growth. They don't live in accommodation to another in fear of
missing the companion nor to they live a ground hog day life...
going from one person, situation, etc after an other and always
repeating ...giving too much and then feeling empty. Not taking care
of their own needs, putting everything else first...
The key to a great life, from my
observations, is to know what you need and seek those that help you
grow to your highest and best. One rides a horse one studies
“strings” ...both support... both are enriched by the experience.
One takes pictures and one reads.... but at the end of the
day...both are growing...and loving the other more....
ah......isn't life a hoot.
