Downstairs the Franchise Boys are entertaining friends, raising the number of boys making noise to six. Upstairs Luke Cage is on the TV and there are a dozen chores to be done before I get to the grading. I don’t stop anymore, because when I do I freeze up, Han Solo locked in carbonite waiting to be set free. So I don’t stop. I keep moving forward. I keep doing, listening, learning, and willing myself forward.
Buddhism teaches me how to pause, to see the world around me, and to reflect on the moment. This moment I live in doesn’t keep me in a positive headspace. So instead I keep moving forward, ignoring the moment and hoping to arrive at a better moment; hoping to find and do things in life that invigorate me and make me want to stay in a moment that is about to happen as opposed to falling back into broken memories of a moment that has already passed.
Some Thoughts:
- I have a blog coming up about the Luke Cage series, but I’m not done yet.
- I’m still here.
