Of course, there's nothing to be done. It will be what it will be, and nothing I can or will do can change that. All I can do is bring an umbrella and waterproof boots, just in case the weather report is right, or hope that there's an option I haven't thought of.
What I have done is to continue to promote the event, as I have been all this week. I will show up. I will play my sets, and be the greeter for the other bands.
And enjoy myself, and the company I'm in, and life.

ReplyDeleteSince we (my brother, sister and brother-in-law, wife and myself, and all of our generation) are physically and chronologically aging, i wish to put this out there -
ReplyDeleteBy consciously suffering the pains and weaknesses of the body, one can use the moment as a reminding factor to observe the mind/body relationship, to observe yourself in the here and now in an unfiltered way.

how?
ReplyDeleteThe pat answer as to how is "pay attention". When i am in pain, while being forced into a state of presence, i find that i am also identified with the pain. That is until i notice that while the experience of pain dominates my attention there is a part of me (it's all in the mind) that is aware of the room around me, what the people in the room are doing. i am somehow aware of the story and developments on the tv in the background. i am aware of sounds, light' from both inside and outside the room i am in. i am aware of the taste and smell of the air i breathe, and my body breathing in and out rhythmically or arhythmically with the sensations of pain, etc. And this awareness is in the background of my mind, without thinking about it. It is this awareness that can "look" and observe without identification at the moment and learn.
ReplyDeletei don't think the previous paragraph answers the question of HOW? but i really need specific questions to know what to say (that is if i know what to say).

The way this has worked for me (and it doesn't always work for me) is a kind of 'dissociated' moment when I step outside of myself, and observe everything from a 'third party' perspective. I see inside and outside myself, and I see my immediate environment. When this is operational, there are no emotions and I get caught up in the experience. It's very out-of-body-ish.
ReplyDeleteExactly so!

So hard to do when you are walking. I can't even talk on the phone and walk. lol
ReplyDeletethank you
ReplyDeleteDo it whenever it happens. It can't be forced.It can only be allowed. It is only a reminding factor to be here now. You have to be open to it , for it to be effective, i think.

p.s. it is my experience that anything and everything in our life experience can be a reminding factor when we are open to it.
