Are we better people because we own the house and get big tax refunds; or because we put paint or metal or clay or words together in ways that touch others? Does having and raising children make us fuller than those who don’t? Does earning a lot of money put us above those how don’t? Who are lonelier, people who live alone or couples who aren’t connecting?
I do a yoga practice with a guided Meta mediation and one of the instructions is to let go of neurotic achievements. I love that line so much.
True that most people are fighting personal battles that we’ll never know about. It pays to be nice. It pays to say less than what I think I should say.
these are just some thoughts I’ve been having.
But. Check. This. Out. I think I’m going to freakin Burning Man! A woman who writes for the site and I had a brief conversation and we may just be excellent playa mates. Wow, Wow, Wow.
I don’t remember if I had written that I was resigned to not going because I couldn’t rationalize spending all that money to get there alone. This is different.
We’ll be meeting very soon to chat.
