Good morning groovy souls.
I am in motion again. Got a call as I was getting ready for bed, from a friend in tears. They had an emergency and needed help, so bunny go.
Luckily, the person I'm helping seems to be recovering to the point that he'll be ok a day while I get this sorted, and he insisted I go.
"Leave or I'm tossing you out. She needs help more than me right now," I think were his exact words.
Life has been wild lately.
@LnzyHou I'm a medic, running from fox hole to fox hole.
I've spoken some about how I considered myself a type of monastic. I seek out ascetic discipline, and aspire to a life of service.
Your words mean so much to me, but this is my path. The people the Gods have placed along that path are the ones that I'm called to serve.
Compassion, and mindfulness can and do change the world, with each action, and every choice we can plant the seeds of peace.
@LnzyHou I know that might sound big or grandiose, but it's a truth. Small actions add up towards big waves of changes.
I do not aspire so much to be seen, I feel sheepish about such things, because my purpose is the work.
All I want to do is to try to make the suffering in the world that much better, because the suffering in the world is fundamentally unnecessary.
So I wander and I work on whats in front of me. Every kind word, and good deed matters, seen or unseen.
@NiveusLepus you are a true bodhisattva. 🙇♂️
@LnzyHou
@Vozy @LnzyHou Oh brother you are so kind.
All I know is that as long as I am, this is the path. We are all connected.
I've been thinking a lot about wave analogies that come up a lot in Buddhist literature, non self... The wave is distinct for all the moments it is a wave. It is apart, but still connected to the greater ocean, and the other waves.
Suffering is, but so to is compassion, empathy and mindfulness. With the effort of each wave towards peace, the whole ocean is improved.
you're an inspiration 🙏🏻🙏🏻‼️
@NiveusLepus
Your offer to come help me, meant everything. Your kindness & generosity of spirit are truly inspiring.
