For what is true in the morning of our lives shall by the evening have become a lie. Lessons can be learned from children, nature, and living on an island. I live on two. Not at the same time.
Something synchronistic happened this morning. The Kitty was in the kitchen and hit a glass with a spoon by accident and it rang like a Tibetan bell. I turned on YouTube and chose a video to link to this BLOG and the opening of the video was another Tibetan bell ringing out the beginning of a short lesson. There are no coincidences.
That same Tibetan bell sent Sandy, the grandpup, into a complete frenzy. Perhaps she just experienced her own canine enlightenment.
I thoroughly enjoyed the part of how enlightenment cannot be a goal because that makes the entry point a part of our future and thus not a part of our present. "If you don't want enlightenment the way a human wants air, you won't get it."
Again, I am reminded of the late + great Jorge Carlin: "There's no present. There's only the immediate future and the recent past."
