Another beautiful few days in the Garden.... starting to get a bit humid here in Lost Angeles... reminds me of back home in da South... spent most of yesterday being lazy & reading about scientology on the interweb... that L.Ron was one batty bastard...
starting up work at the summer school next week... expecting mostly easy days...
It occurred to me this morning while I was walking the dogs... as far as our basic needs go, we two legged types aren't that much different from them. We don't like feeling our bellies empty or our throats too dry. We like a place in the shade when it's hot and a spot by the fire when it's cold. Layin' around is great sometimes, but every once in a while we like to get out and check things out a bit. Sniff around and see who else is bouncing around out there. We're pretty happy when we get a chance to run into others like ourselves. Until, of course, they try to piss on our stuff or get mean or hump us when we don't want them to. We really like bein' able to take a regular dump & gettin' a little pat on the head or rub on the belly...
Maybe if we just concentrated on those things for awhile... you know, instead of fixating on all of the subtle & overt bullshit of daily life... we might be surprised at how simple it becomes to manage the crap storms... if nothing else, we may gain the perspective that this too shall pass.. then... maybe some of the uncertainty slips away... and then the fear & anxiety... and we can begin to act upon the world around us, becoming an integral part of it instead of just reacting to its influences upon us... It turns out that, while it may be a somewhat more meticulous process to get there as opposed to the icky dark places, that state of beautiful integrity is incredibly capable of spreading into all around us....
I know that this little babble is no piece of fresh fish... sometimes I just have to remind my self of how to walk through this world....
now I think I'll go smoke some pot, do the dishes, water the garden & watch me some World Cup...
luv to ya kidzz
