Social Responsibility

I have a responsibility to be social, one to myself and those who love me to nourish this heart and mind by surrounding myself with people I enjoy. Had a great one last night, low key, silly, slightly drunken fun for myself and a few select warm bodies. I had forgotten how important this is in my life and that made it all the more sweet.

I re-read a lot of the posts I've made this past few years (is it that long, my how time flies) and no surprise in the fact that the very same people I was so desperately missing back then are the ones who have re-graced my life after returning home. Writers, dreamers, friends, silly conversationalists and deep thinkers, parents and patients, the wine, beer and whiskey flowed and so did the tongues wag.

I have never felt so funny, intelligent and MYSELF among any other group of people and I love them all.

I found that part of myself that I had neglected for so long, the part unafraid of judgment, the part so open, so alive, so ME. Yes some parts of my life still suck, but the people in my life do not and that is the trick. I've found the grail and had a sip and now i feel rejuvenated.

Maybe, just maybe after the holidays I can do something creative again...I think so, climbing up that hill...and I'm not alone.

Love and warmth...

I'm 89% Polymorphically Perverse!

You spent the first half of your sexual career experimenting, and your skills are way beyond the commonplace. But you are just too damn smart to wholly believe that technique and debauchery alone constitute a reliable path to integration. And you're right, my friend.

Time has come to find a spiritual path with heart - nothing is gained by compartmentalizing existence.

I hesitate to make further suggestions as this will appear to be grandstanding. After all, you're nobody's fool... or are you? Beware the demon of mundane pride, dear heart. You've travelled too far to go through all these things twice, so : be aware. Watch your mind. Take it out and play with it, and don't allow distraction to steal your relaxed attention!

Instead of further obscure hints, herewith a short explanation of the Thangka, which is of Samantabhadri/Samantabhadra. They are always naked - their nakedness reminds us of non-conceptual reality-as-it-is (versus 'conventional reality' in which right and wrong, left and right, east and west arise and cannot entirely be ignored).

They manifest in union to show the uninterrupted and seamless union of Bliss and Emptiness.

Within this one life-time, in this very body, may we accomplish the path and result, and experience reality just like that!

To possess this precious human body with sense-fields intact is as rare an occurrence as for a great sea-turtle, which comes up for breath but once in an inestimably long eon, to break the surface and poke its head directly through a yoke floating upon an ocean as wide as the sea of possibility - yet this occurs! Let's not waste the opportunity, fully realizing there is no guarantee we shall ever again experience this good fortune...
