Daily Comment

I spend a lot of time laughing at myself.

One of the reasons is that I am so amused is that sometimes I find myself observing my behavior as if I were watching someone else, and it is quite absurd.

As much as I know and believe and try to practice non-attachment, for instance, I get caught up in the 'sensual world' and find myself behaving like someone else - someone who doesn't understand the things that I do.

So, I'm less than perfect, no big deal, right? At any given moment, I'm doing the best I can, if not the best I know. Or maybe, at any given moment, if I were in the moment, there wouldn't be a best or worst. 

But I find it so hard to stay in the moment most of the time. 

So I strive to accept things as they are, not as I wish they were. Do you see the joke? Striving is inconsistent with acceptance, making the simple needlessly complex. I should be going in the other direction. Its so hard to let go of that need to control everything (and whether one can control anything is debatable).

I am the butt of my own life-joke. I am absurd, and I'm okay with that. Everybody needs a good laugh on a regular basis.

Feel free to laugh along, we're all Bozos on this bus...

Diet Comment

Last night's pizza and alcohol put a big hurt on. That is not a good looking chart. This evening's night out is not going to help anything, what with my friend, poet David Wolinsky visiting for the next two nights - more dining out than I'm used to, and definitely not conducive to weight loss.
