Shifting Winds
While I seem to be experiencing a flow of joy, excitement and visibility in the last few weeks, there are obviously some shadows hanging over me as mom remains in the hospital. Just like Buddha taught about shifting winds – Eight Worldly Winds, which are pleasure and pain; gain and loss; fame and disrepute; praise and blame, I’m only noticing the randomly shifting winds all the time and choosing to go with the flow without trying to read into the unknown future one day at a time.
