Work
I'm at work now, I start in roughly 20 minutes. I've just had 2 days off and now I really don't want to work. I fear if I didn't work though, I would become extremely vulnerable, financially and existentially. The way in which we maintain life at the monastery requires different sensitivities and different standards from the normative world. I am just saying that it's something to consider for me. Need to pump myself up and keep on with the day. Keep on keeping on!

i still believe that "normal" works best as a setting on a washing machine. when i believe there is such a thing as, "a normative world," i am blind to the individual standing in front of me. all i see is whatever stereotype my closed mind is inclined to bestow upon them. opening my heart to the unique traits of each person i encounter opens my world to far greater possibilities.
You are so very right on.
