Biding Time

"I wondered whether people would still exert the tremendous effort of work and sacrifice to acquire worldly goods, committing crimes if necessary, if they realised that all they had to do was to bide their time, lead a decent life, spiritualise their consciousness so that it would vibrate on a more exalted level, and simply wait for the gates of death to open for them and see their wildest dreams come true."

Jurgen Ziewe - Multidimentional Man.

I love this. The phrase '...all they had to do was bide their time...' has had a significant impact on me lately.

There are times when I get too ambitious. I get lost in doing and when the doing gets lost I too find it hard too do things, then I start to feel lost.

When really, all I have to do is bide my time.

What's the rush?

Why chase things?

Why do?

Why not be?

My need to do comes from the misperception that the present moment lacks something.

Sometimes I find it really hard to see that everything, right now, is exactly how it's meant to be.

Yer Standin

Today whilst on my walk a woman came out and said, 'Do you have a packet for nextdoor?'

'No,' I said, 'not today.'

'Well,' she said, 'I saw yer standin last week and wondered if the packet came then. They're on holiday, you see.'

'Right,' I said. 'I was on holiday last week too. You say you saw me standing?'

'Yeah, I saw yer standin last week.'

I was confused. Really confused.

'You saw me standing?'

'Yes I saw yer standin.'

At this point she seemed to be getting a bit annoyed with me. She was looking at me in the exact same way I was looking at her.

'I was on holiday last week,' I said. 'Where did you see me standing?'

'What?'

'You said you saw me standing - where was I standing?'

'Nooooo! I saw your stand in!' she yelled. 'You know, the guy who stands in for you!'

'Ah right, sorry - what did he tell you?'

'Not much.'

Dear God.

Determined to Chew

No matter how many sticks get lodged in my dog's throat, she's still determined to chew them over and over again.

That's what the majority of people walk around doing - chewing - people are blinded by chewing . . . crazy. 

All my dog has to do is let go.

Mirror

You never ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever . . . look in the mirror and see who you are.

 . . . ever.

Drip Drip Drip

I left the tap dripping for our cat.

She watched it for 15 minutes.

I did too.

Just to see it.

At the football match I went to (mentioned in the previous post) the moon was above us. I wonder how many people were paying any attention to it.

Does it Dark Matter?

Just been to a football match. Not my thing. I went for the experience.

It was good - the experience, that is . . . the football was poor.

A game that's played as if it matters.

. . . Sounds like another game we all play.
