Damn, I'm posting a lot today.
Today at work I made small talk in Russian with a Bulgarian woman. I can't remember the exact words I used but I know I was speaking fluently and it wasn't English. I remember continuing eating my food (I was on break) and then being like, "holy shit! I just had an entire conversation in Russian!" I nearly choked.
And then when we closed up, I met two Buddhist monks. They live in this house up the street from my job, I'm assuming with other monks. Tibentan Buddhist, by the way. I told them that I'm a buddhist, "I think, I don't really know, I mean I meditate every night, like this," folding my hands into the cosmic mudra, and they said, "oh yes, that's very good." They invited me to visit the house any time, so I think I might do that. Except, I have some hang ups. Specifically, the Dalai Lama's despotism and the rivalry between the Tibetan sects. I heard that the two groups fight alot. Seriously, man, what's the deal, I thought you were all supposed to be peaceful and compassionate.
And holy crap! I just read Patricks email about flossing. Time and time again, I am astounded by what seems to be luck. They say that starting flossing is about as hard as it is to quit cigarettes. The funny thing is that lately I've had these weird urges to floss my teeth. It just feels good for some reason.
Seriously, shit is continually handed to me on a plate. It's like I don't have to work for anything.

Hey dude, you should go read the Celestine Prophecy if you haven't already. It talks a lot about listening to "coincidence" and it seems to me you're in a good place for it. Take it with a grain of salt, not as gospel, but I think you'll find it articulates a lot of what you are already experiencing. I don't really care for the narrative style, but it gets the point across.
ReplyDeleteHmm, well, I already listen to coincidence, the very fact that I'm in the PCP is because I listened to a coincidence. But yeah, my knowledge and understanding can always be improved, so I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna post a book recommendation for you, Seabass, but I'll put it in a comment on your next post, just to be sure you get it.
