It's one of those days; nothing seems to stand out that interests me to write. Yet, here I am, hashing out some reflective thought on why that may be.
I do find it interesting that my posts related to Buddhist thought (taken from this blog) on HubPages.com have been fairly popular, which I am pleasantly surprised. I am happy they are bring read as they were great experiences I feel are worth sharing. Even as I read over them, proofreading, revising, I am brought back to that mindset.
I wonder, why does it still take so much effort sometimes to remain so mindful, at peace? The clarity, understanding, patience, compassion; yet it can be as hard to maintain as it is letting go of anger. Odd, I think.
Silly me.
The very answer is in that statement: the desire, the attachment. The desire to 'make it happen' instead of just being; trying to make anger go away verses being with anger is what makes it so hard.
Funny how the clarity and understanding I can find so elusive can be so surprising in its arising. Always a lesson to he learned; perhaps I am being more mindful more frequently than I am aware.
Kind of a riddle, I guess...
Maybe I need to figure out how to write some Buddhist fiction to share my limited insights; that would be great.
