Evil~ its funny that you mentioned Buddhism...I was talking with someone the other day about all of the different ways in which the same idea comes packaged. Its great to get different perspectives. It makes me wonder though how can so many have the same knowledge and not realize that they are indeed talking about the same thing?
I had an amazing walk today. When leaving my house I realized I forgot my camera...I was about a block away. I thought well I do have some photography homework, I could go back and get it. I decided not to, although was having some unsettling thoughts about not getting to my homework. I then turned my attention to driving. After my appointment I decided that since it was balmy out I would walk along the river. It had been some time since I had taken a walk alone, without a camera, without incessant thought. I walked noticing all the beautiful colors...the raging water....and I for the most part refrained from labeling things. At various points in my walk, there were a few thoughts here and there, some that even made me laugh out loud. (I am sure I appeared nutty lmao) Then, I just felt this calm, warm, loving, surety. I felt at home, at peace, one, whole, satisfied, full, loved, cared for, comforted.... It had been years since I had felt that way. I smiled to myself and just continued walking. The one thought that kept creeping in as I was walking after that was...Everything is just as it should be.
