Something a little more focused today

I am going to bed - for real. Another 3am wake up, drive to the airport - yes, all the wonderfulness of travel for the next two weeks. I am pretty sure I won't be blogging, at least not very much until November 16th. So much will be different then.

So a little jewel of an insight: today, sitting on the floor, feeling angst about Sarah (yet again - sheesh), I remembered to just accept the awkwardness, the confusion of the situation and just sit with it. Remembering what Pema Chodron says about the hard moments - these are the best times to sit, to focus, to recollect one's self and remember that there is nothing to rely on - to expect constant change - to respect the wisdom of suffering.

There does not need to be a solution. There is not any condition that needs to be fulfilled for me to be happy. There is just right now.

I want to set down: over the course of the weekend, I have been feeling some more grief about my break-up with Alexa. I remind myself: there is more to process there. What I just described above is a good way of doing so.

Ok, I need to rest for my travels.

Good night - good weeks - good 1st half of November, all.
