Made it through H's birthday yesterday without calling him or emailing him. Just thought about him briefly and kept busy the rest of the day with lunch out with a friend and then a party last night and got caught up with some good friends.
Came across this Van Morrison song. Never heard it before and it's been on repeat for most of the morning. Hope some of you get something out of it as I have from the lyrics. I love the part about non attachment. Hey, that's the same thing as detachment.
Enlightenment
Chop that wood Carry water What's the sound of one hand clapping Enlightenment, don't know what it is
Every second, every minute It keeps changing to something different Enlightenment, don't know what it is Enlightenment, don't know what it is It says it's non attachment Non attachment. non attachment
I'm in the here and now, and I'm meditating And still I'm suffering but that's my problem Enlightenment, don't know what it is
Wake up
Enlightenment says the world is nothing Nothing but a dream, everything's an illusion And nothing is real
Good or bad baby You can change it anyway you want You can rearrange it Enlightenment, don't know what it is Chop that wood And carry water What's the sound of one hand clapping Enlightenment, don't know what it is
All around baby. you can see You're making your own reality. everyday because Enlightenment, don't know what it is
One more time
Enlightenment. don't know what it is It's up to you Enlightenment. don't know what it is It's up to you everyday Enlightenment, don't know what it is It's always up to you Enlightenment, don't know what it is It's up to you, the way you think
