When email is taxed, I will still and always write this blog as it fits my schedule of worship and deformation of what we should or ought to do, instead of what is pleasurable for us.
I spoke on jams on the bus, where we wear our dream time jammed into today’s schedule of nine to five and I worship on Sunday.
I worship everyday of the week and take Sunday afternoons and evenings off. I wear my jammies till my dream time is spent on the back porch, in meditation and on this journaling blog. I take my work from eleven to three, working part-time is desirable as a writer of Buddhis essays, see my newest at Journaling a Blog Everyday, Buddhist Reflections on Delight or Karma Reduction. I find that when I worship in this way, everything settles and I am delighted with life, which gets folks mad and people discouraged, both folks and people. Folks are people I know, and people are folks that are dispersed everywhere. When you conform to nine to five schedules, that brings madness, rage, and discouragement. Try something simple like sitting at work at your desk with the computer turned to a delightful page. I use to do this at work, before nine am, sometime between nine fifteen and nine thirty I’d switch to my journal and remember the page. If it was news then I’d write newsy, if it was delightful, a pass time, then I’d write poetically. Is that why we are such a nation of news watchers and journal slackers? In possibility, I find enrichment and in position I find reluctance, but in sharing or restoration, or in puncutation I find delight, as I endure perfection in my mind, work, and ease. Not my easements, which my Buddhist Novel reflects on but in ease. I always want and search for perfection, though mistakes are allowed and delighted in, I search for cause of not pursuing it and find none but striving not and not in the richness of ease which is striving for a set delight and pleasure bound cause. What is cause but strivenness and the Buddha said we should develop cause in all we do and so says Tricycle, the Dalai Lama, and even Day in The Life of Cause, a Plum Village phamplet that let to the leader’s well known book. So what’s the switch suddenly to cause and not striving. The Buddha in Koan Number 10,029 said they were the same, so what are we fighting over. If cause is strivenness then strive, if it is not then it is Karma and change that by becoming unto oneself as Pali of Sri Lanka said and give generously to self then others. That changes Karma. What’s the big deal? Ticht Nacht Hanh, Tricycle, and the Dalai Lama?
