the weekend finds me saying goodbye to two… one, a person i thought a friend who chooses not to be so, and the other, a tender delight who even now, is on a plane to his home.

A well put together listing of special days in the Buddhist tradition.

getting into the groove of ‘being’, the decision to actively work to maintain it… has had some very surprising outcomes.

my first registered title with ASCAP. feel the excitement! *grin*

today is thursday. the week seems to have flown by. tomorrow is the master sergeant’s last day in my home town.

archival.

well. unemployment filed (pending the ‘reason’ – which oddly enough, they refuse to provide… which is puzzling), and the resume already flying to 30 openings and a number of recruiters.

i find i am becoming used to the manner in which life changes more than it remains the same for me. i can’t say i enjoy it all the time, but i am becoming comfortable with it. or perhaps simply less affected by it. no longer willing to suffer for the process of distinguishing one circumstance from another.

“Granted there are certain people to whom the most compassionate act is disengagement (so that they cannot harm themselves or others), but for the vast majority of sentient beings, compassion is simply kindness, tenderness and love.” – a friend, upon a forum, in relation to decision to ban another in a ‘no one is ever banned’ space.

it is a unique experience to be treasured. i cannot say it is something i have ever enjoyed in life. ever known. i suppose that could be a sad statement, except i am so content in this moment, that saying it isn’t at all heavy.
