? (Notes From Nowhere #6*)


* Building from the Ground Up (Notes From Utopia #4) never made it online, mostly because I couldn’t find time to write it, much less get on the computer, though it was gonna include a really good George Harrison line...and the more I go inside, the more there is to see...and something from Godfrey Devereux quoted in a class here last Saturday...To push yourself beyond your limits will reduce and not expand them. Rather bring yourself gently to your current limit and stay there for a while; then your limits will naturally and easily expand...whatever...consider it the one that got away, while It’s Rough All Over (Notes From Samsara or a Dark Night of the Soul #5) was too dark, going on about how this place is kinda like a mental institution for people who aren’t particularly mentally ill...or a rehab for people who aren’t particularly addicted...at least, no more than most people...when the uncomfortable truth is that, when you can dare to look at it, just about everybody around you is carrying an almost unbearable amount of pain....culminating in our flight from the ashram following the day of intense silence to go sit in a noisy unconsecrated space and drink tequila...and yet unable to draw my eyes away from the T.V. set above the bar where horrifying images of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan ran on a continuous nightmare loop...and still I complain about having to do yoga all day...and you wouldn’t wanna read about that, wouldya?

Then there’s this post. I have no idea what it’s about.

This sounds beautiful and strange all at the same time.

Well thank goodness you've got access to them kinds of spirits, drjay...the absence of junk food (and internet time) is bad enough. Or is it? Hmmm...

The earthquake is such a tragedy...it's hard to fathom what the Japanese people are going through.

But still, I wouldn't mind hearing your complaints about doing all day what you went there to do all day, for weeks on end... :o)

I like when you have "no idea of what [the post] is about"...those usually speak the most personally to me.

I'd listen to you complain about it...
