What Other’s May Think..

I write these pieces from scratch. I bring years of study and a bit of self reflection to the page and try to compose something meaningful in about 200 characters.

There is no limit to knowledge and inspiration, though it seems to have its own pulse and timing, much like everything else in the creation. 

The Muse giv’eth.
The Muse tak’eth.

This week (already about 63 characters in, oops, make that 70) I decided to draw a bit of inspiration from my teacher, Baba Hari Dass, a silent monk of over 60 years, who wrote on a chalk board before passing at the age of 96.

The man could convey a great deal in a few words.

I experience relief when I read this. #1 Recognize how much energy is given to posturing a particular identity. #2 It’s a futile way to go about living.

Said a little differently. It’s said that at 18 we concern ourselves with what others may think of us. At 40 we stop caring so much about what they might be thinking. And at 60, we recognize that they were never thinking about us in the first place, the majority of attention was spent managing their own 

veneer. Simply live into the most authentic version of highest nature as you can, amidst the many words and currents of this world.
