It's Everywhere

Why does materialism get such a bad rap?
Is there more beauty in the silence of meditation than a sleek, red Ferrari?
I believe not. Besides, who's to say.
For now, I'll sit in the beauty of silence without a Ferrari in the garage. Actually, If I had the money, I'd buy a Porsche anyway.

Merry-Go-Round

I haven't posted a blog in a while. I guess I just ran out of things to say, or.... it all sounds sooo much better in my head. I think the answer is the latter rather than the former.

Lately, I've been looking at the closed-loop of the ego. It gets itself into a merry-go-round of:
Hating the hate
Judging the judgement
Yelling at the noise
Resisting the resistence
Resenting the resentment
...and on it goes.
Just like a merry-go-round, it may be fun for a few minutes, but then it's time to get off. Well, I'm getting off here. I declare my freedom everyday....And then I fail.
So, do I hop back on the merry-go-round and:
Guilt the failure
Deny the failure
Resist the failure
Hate the failure
Pitty myselft in the failure
Or, redeclare my freedom and appreciate the wisdom of the failure.

It's my choice from moment to moment.
