What Are You Thinking Of Right Now?

The winds have switched a bit, and for the first time in a while, I can see stars. AQI went from 457 this morning to 85 just now near my part of the mountain. Some areas are still high. I can't and won't stand down until the fires are out, yet I may actually get a few hours of sleep.

Good night PW family.
 
Im thinking tonight is a good night to stay the fuck off of FB.

Also thinking I cant wait to get my home gym in order.
 
I think the carpenter is wiser than the Sage. He is good at handling wood. And he works outside :laugh

I also think I should admit that I fell asleep after the carpenter.

I'm thinking the Ostrich may just have something there.
 
I'm wondering whether I'm being chicken in scheduling an operation, I think I need two weeks to get ready for it ( legal and other situations) and just turned down a 6 day away schedule. I really am not looking forward to the six hour surgery and two month recovery, but that's life.
 
strangeness afoot. unusual call from a third party prompted by and on behalf of my company. ticket possibly punched. has the potential to be sort-of-a don’t call me, i’ll call you situation.

am thinking highly compensated recluse. i like to grow things - so maybe a farm out in the middle of bumfuck nowhere. with some killer technology in the barn of course. :laughing
 
i can't tell sometimes if things are good or bad. i think that is perfection.

Buddha told a parable in sutra: A man traveling across a field encountered a tiger. He fled, the tiger after him. Coming to a precipice, he caught hold of the root of a wild vine and swung himself down over the edge. The tiger sniffed at him from above. Trembling, the man looked down to where, far below, another tiger was waiting to eat him. Only the vine sustained him. Two mice, one white and one black, little by little started to gnaw away the vine. The man saw a luscious strawberry near him. Grasping the vine with one hand, he plucked the strawberry with the other. How sweet it tasted!

:party I think the variance of pleasure that story can evoke is depending or not on the context of the person reading it. I can say that there's been times in my life I would have felt very differently about reading this.
 
That particular Zen story has a way of hitting one in the head like a bamboo stick.

SNAP!!

Now I am here and present.

The mice probably represent yin and yang. The strawberry probably represents actual truth. But it's like me explaining a joke. It's not funny anymore. I think the impact of the story is more like the feeling of the stick. It's not expressed in words. It's just a smack.

Too much coffee too late in afternoon. Best solution is to make more right now.
 
for my sweet babe (yeah you) - your life to this point has been balls to the wall. however fortunate you feel at this moment, it may be the right time to stop and smell the roses. a little calm might be just what makes it all come together for you. for your final and forever.

i’m so happy for you.

please get some rest.
 
I’m thinking, on my way to Yep. Nothing high tech in that barn/garage but 430ccs of Italian beast. I’m thinking I’ll probably hang with the baby cats.
