I met this guy once, he was into Tai Chi. He told me his master was so powerful he could burn your skin with his finger tip. I remember thinking (to myself) Is THAT what spirituality is about? I thought it was a bit pathetic really.

Is potency or effectiveness or a sense of agency the same thing as POWER?

What about Dominance, even Cruelty?

What about the flip side, weakness?

People don't like the idea of being weak. But, it could mean gentleness or receptiveness or openness or vulnerability.

If you can't be vulnerable, how could you be intimate, how could you connect. How could you even get out of bed in the morning without blocking out a great deal of reality.

Do you want to be safe?

Even suffering, enlightenment could be the end to suffering, but is that the most important thing?

****
So why do you practice?
What do you want to be enlightened for?
What you going to do when you are enlightened? Teach? Why?
Will enlightenment benefit the people you teach?

what would you do if the contract at your job ended and they were supposed to extend it by this past friday -- they did not -- and now they're telling you to come to work on Monday and they'll talk to HR (but there's no proof that you will get paid or that they will even do what they say as they are full of ****)...? Would Monday be your last day (even if you do NOT have another job) or do you keep going to work in hopes that they'll get their lying, lazy butts together enough to do as they promise?

In 1978 Ron Guidry should have won the MVP and didn't. Albert Belle in 1995 had no real competition and wasn't voted MVP by the writers. Who do YOU think was shafted in any given year?

Today, I finally got the courage to take a test. My boyfriend was here with me for support. I gve it to him so that he could tell me the results and right when he asked "what does two lines mean?" I broke out in tears. He got it then and tried to comfort me and tell me that everything is going to be okay. I so badly dont want to tell my parents. How are they going to feel about how their only child is about to have a child of her own. How do I break this news to them?

So the past couple days my 4 weeks old son will NOT take naps during the day unless i wrap him really tight in his blanket and lay down with him and hold him as close as possible, keep in mind i have never slept with him befor this. he does fine at night, but during the day he won't sleep unless i lay down with him. and this just started. don't get me wrong, i LOVE laying with my son and feeling needed like that, but i need to get some stuff done too :)
