I've been avoiding writing anything here. After one entire year of writing inspirations (2013) and another of writing lessons (2010), I'm not sure I have much left to share.
But I still want to write.
Write here now.
So here I am on a Friday night. It's 8:02pm and I'm alone.
Yoon went off on a retreat with a Tibetan Rinpoche he met in the Seattle Public Library long ago. His name is Sonam Rinpoche and I really had hoped I could be there too...but....
I came down with a bad cold and felt I needed to rest and to have some time to myself.
So that's what I'm doing.
I just signed up for a free trial of Netflix for one month. Tonight I watched a movie called Life in a Day.
It was recommended to me by a friend.
Human life is so interesting. Somehow, we are here and our basic needs like food, shelter and water need to be met. Then there's a need for love or to have someone care about us, including ourselves. If those are met, life becomes a patchwork quilt of moments and experiences—some good, some bad, some neutral.
Life is not one big event, goal, award, promotion, marathon or expedition.
It's here now.
Now I'm sitting in my office on a futon. Clothes and blankets are strewn around the room. I'm feeling a bit lazy, so I haven't organized. I'm wearing a big, long, wool scarlet sweater with wooden buttons. It feels warm and cozy. I'm also wearing black wool socks and gray pants. It's cold outside and there's been talk of snow, but I haven't looked outside to see if there is any yet. I feel relaxed, calm, contemplative, and a bit hungry...I may grab a bite to eat.
So this is a new chapter...
...of living moments.
How about this moment in your life right now? I'd love to hear from you!
