Shivoham

I cannot stop listening to this amazing mantra. There are two versions that I have. I discovered this one second, and I think I am liking this one better - at the moment at least. I really love it.

This mantra is an affirmation of my true self. "I am the soul and not the body" I am Shiva!

The Teaching Gambit

Sometiimes my feelings can be hurt by the words of another. If that other is someone really important to me than inurring myself against such pain can be very difficult. But this should not be a very large problem when the other is just an acquaintance, or a stranger.

When my feelings are hurt by a statement it is probably because I have grown to attached to my opinions. My opinions are not my self. There exceptions of course. It is perfectly fine to be upset because of bad news (you're fired, there's been an accident, etc.) but not because someone has labelled me or disagreed with one of my opinions.

Facebook Time

Despite growing performance issues, my Pre continues to grow in the significance of the role it plays in my daily life. This is because of the Notes app (which I am using even now to write this) and because of FaceBook. I really love FB. I hear many people complain about how much time they "waste on CrackBook" but I am not a member of that whiners club.

Lucky Days

Danger from Above!

Fucking Shithawks.

I really do love all of God's creatures, but lately I seem to run a-fowl of the feathered ones. I swear they've been out to get me.

Life At Work

It was a strange day. Synchronicities abounded. Just little things, but it seems like I am getting better at going with the flow. I am a believer in the idea that the Universe will present me with greater challenges as my abilities grow. Today was one of those days.
