I'm nowhere near as great as I want people to think I am... but I'm still pretty fucking awesome.
The Buddha once said:
"Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn't learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn't learn a little, at least we didn't get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn't die; so, let us all be thankful."I'm thankful.
_____For everything.
__________Even the shit that hurts.
_______________Especially the shit that hurts.
I am alive, and I have a greater capacity for love than anyone else I know.
We humans have an incredible knack for trapping ourselves in little mazes without even realizing it. We curse the person who created these traps for us, but lack the foresight to realize we've put ourselves in them.
Whenever I start questioning myself I just think of something the Dalai Lama said,
"Love and compassion are necessities, not luxuries. Without them humanity cannot survive."
I'm just trying to do my part.
I dance with the star shine. Do you know anyone else who dances with the star shine?
.I miss you.

Good entry. You have a way of capturing in words how a small action like a nighttime bike ride can set off a cascade of thoughts and ideas and emotions that are a profound part of our search for meaning in this world.
excellent post :)
