Christmas cheer is all well and good, but the celebration does tend to halt one's social life outside one's immediate circle.
I like plans. In fact, I enjoy them so much I constantly create them. Plans for action, plans for leisure, plans for work and plans for pleasure. Very few of my plans ever come to fruition, but that never seems to stop me. I'm pretty good and improvising, you see.
I like koans, I'm not sure I fully understand most of them, but they force me to look at the world without my intellect, and arrogance, getting in the way. Now I just need a qualified Rinzai roshi to chop off my finger and enlightenment will be mine. (That last sentence is a wonderful spin off from one of the Rinzai legends, I'll tell it some other time if you are interested)
You know that feeling you get when you see an old friend whom you have been apart from for many months, maybe even years, and you know that, deep down at the center of this mess called reality, everything is just the way you left it?
I like that feeling, more than I can express.
You know, after flipping through journal entries and nearly laughing myself out of my chair, I just have one thing to say. It is good to be back.
