What does 6,200 look like? i don't know
i broke it down
(10 rows of 10 people) x 62
that's approximately how many have recently perished in Indonesia's earthquake
i saw this in the elevator as i went off to my yoga class this afternoon...
i pondered again my own existance
our own existance
the fragility of life
which again and again i forget to honour, cherish, thank heavenly beings for
i've been reading the bible, not just the New Testament
i've been practising my astrological insights
and my yoga
and exploring alternate belief systems
i know we are many things
i know we are not finite
not easily defined
not easily explained
or dimissed
and i just don't mean "us" as in human
people
but "us" as in all of "us" living creatures here
and wherever we may exist
on all planes
physical
mental
spiritual
what does it matter if i post a link to a poem, or an astrology site, or anything
what does it really matter?
is this how i can best use my time, right here? right now?
i wonder
i keep wondering...
i'm sorry i don't believe anyone has the answers either
i don't trust that anyone knows any better than i or the next person
so i'll just listen to my own self
to what i "feel", not just what i think
but to what my instincts direct me to
and still i'm amazed at the kindness of others
and i think then yes, i am blessed
and there is a purpose
and it is good
that i go on
and that i go on being kind and good
and forget the harm that's been done me
as i perceive it
and i thank the goodness in others
Namaste as we say in closing when pracitising our Yoga postures
the God in me honours the God in you
