At the end of the day the teachers are gone, the teachings are gone, the girlfriends are gone, the children are too busy playing with their friends, nobody seems to be paying attention.
What are you going to do?
What is going to be enough?
What is the purpose of this questioning? It’s an invitation, to myself, to join the silence of what sits with me and take 100% responsibility for my own life. Not 99%, or 99.9%. Any % that I leave for someone or something to fulfill is the hook that I use to keep myself bound to the world of “this and that,” to a seemingly safe world, the world of hope and illusion, the world of confusion and suffering.
Standing at the top of the 100 foot pole? Just take the next step.
Wow. I’ve been reading your blog for quite a while now and have thoroughly enjoyed it. This entry is pretty amazing. And to realize that it’s just a step. Why does it seem like so much more?
Take care,

This one makes me think a lot. It’s easy not to be stressed or feel lonely when I’m busy with work or talking to people. But when the kids are out playing and no ones around, I feel like “no ones paying attention” and then I have to face my own thoughts. Kind of overwhelming sometimes, but also very good for me.
