There is nothing like writing from a lonely hotel room on
business. I’m not your average traveler,
I work into the night and I mean real work and then perhaps some reading. I also have a daily goal, to either write or
edit one page of my writing. But there
is the joy of reading which can pull me in all directions. For example, I
finished Pema Chodon’s book Living Beautifully.
I can see some wincing in my friend’s eyes, beautifully, what kind of man are you? Hey, this book was a needed reminder of how
important meditation can be in my life.
I have seen an improvement in my concentration, for instance I begin this
entry in my hotel room and end up writing about an inspiring book. Just like our thoughts, mine have deliberate
stream of conscientiousness. But back
to having the time in a room which can be a blessing our can bring on a wave of
isolation or loneliness. Let these
thoughts come and let them pass, like the breath. What am I trying to convey here? Each of us has a certain amount of time on
this earth and it’s vital for our welfare to use our time to increase our compassion
and open up to new patterns of thinking. For example getting out of the habitual damaging
thoughts. Discover your beauty. In your time, you will be enabled to break
free and experience… an awakening or satori which is a zen Buddhist term…
Thank you for reading this
