Recognizing the Duality Within: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Transformation
I recognize that the seeds of malice only serve to entrap me in an endless cycle of pain and disconnection. It is a paradox - the more I cling to my ego, the more isolated I become, cocooned in a shell of self-imposed ignorance.The recognition of evil is akin to peeling back layers of an onion, each layer revealing a pungent truth about my nature. With each layer, tears may fall - tears of regret, of understanding, and sometimes, of liberation. As I peel, I uncover the raw essence of my human...
The Seeds of the Mind: How Our Thoughts Shape Our Destiny
Once upon a time, there was a young monk named Tenzin who had just entered the monastery. He was eager to learn and absorb everything that was taught to him. He spent his days studying and practicing meditation, trying to understand the teachings of the Buddha. One day, his master called him to his chambers and said, "Tenzin, I want to teach you something important. Everything you do or say gets recorded in your mind. It makes an imprint on your subconscious, and that imprint becomes a seed. ...

Still searching for other options and working on possibly moving into a vacant house, but have to wait for it to be inspected for mold and potential damage from a flood as well as have power restored, and activate insurance. Today my cousin from my step-father's side of the family is supposed to give me an update on the status of the house and what needs to be done in order for me to relocate and take temporary possession.
Last evening, I found myself dozing off at the bus stop bench outside the motel, my duffel bag tucked between my feet beneath the bench, and my Chromebook clutched firmly in my lap. I was woken this morning by the sound of the city bus and the heavy thickening smell of exhaust fumes from the growing traffic on the street.
I did my now-standard mad dash, walking as fast as possible without looking panicked or winded, down a block or two to the McDonald's bathroom. As always, I was racing against the clock and my rapidly diminishing ability to hold it in until I could reach the toilet.
I'm sitting in a booth at the back of the restaurant, and the faint pangs of hunger are starting to creep in. They're lingering at the edges of my mind, threatening to take over more and more of my attention until they completely consume my thoughts.
