"Just when I thought I was out... They pull me back in." - Summer 2013 (and Michael Corleone, earlier).

Gorgeous weather the last two days and tomorrow's Clearview reunion should be just as good.

I've been thinking about some of my relationships lately. I get so confused by people's written things, which only approximate communication. I don't know where I stand with some people.

Then I remember that other people's opinion of me is none of my business. I try to release my attachment to my view of other people and myself, and my neurotic desire to control how people perceive me.

It isn't that I feel people are negative (about me), either - I think quite a few people think I am better in some way than I (think) I am. Which creates some oppressive expectations.

Then I have to remind myself that other peoples' expectations of me are not something I have to be concerned about, either.

It's a lot of releasing. Attachment, desire, expectation - all the building blocks of suffering. Might have to add a few minutes to my meditation today.
