Andy's Mind

OK, so it turns out I would have to wait for another week at least for some important news. And as I’ve sent the report -result of one and a half month of work – to the client I’m now in a state of limbo, with some time on my hands but little money. It’s interesting how it appears that we have so much to do, but then when we get some free time it turns out most of that can be dealt with quickly leaving some time to be taken care of.

Of course, this is a great opportunity to catch up on reading, write long overdue, lengthy e-mails to friends and practice more. I think I’ll take some time today to walk a bit in a park. It’s, after all, springtime and despite being quite cold everything is waking up to life. It’s a period of new hope each year as the sun rays get warmer and days get longer. Remains to be seen what it will bring this time.

This was a tiring day. Somehow, I maintained my inner calm through it all. But now I’m going to switch off my computer, meditate and go to sleep.

Good night.

This is one of those days when I’m supposed to work, but memories come. Not necessarily the best ones I have. I wonder where are now people I knew, women I loved or people that used to be my friends but whose paths led them somewhere outside my realm.

Impermanence can be painful sometimes, yet it’s thanks to it that we can grow. When I look back like today it strikes me that I developed a lot over the last years, thanks in many ways to all those people who shared part of their time here with me. I’m always amazed by how flexible and extensible mind is. I just hope to enjoy the ride more in the future.
