You really handle things very lightly. So zen.
Well, I have two options: Do what I have to do, or do what I have to do while stressing about it. I choose the first one.
How does he do it?
Since 2007 began, I told myself I'm going to do that. It has only been a couple of weeks, so I can't really gauge how successful I have been. However, I found a little questionable variable to the Worry-free equation.
In the things that I know I didn't stress about too much since the year began, I found, though, that the reason I was able to do so was because I also cared less.
But I don't want to care less! So I asked the expert.
No, you do not care less, he said, You just deal with it, mincing at every step.
I don't know how I would get used to the fact that caring is a variable, but not in direct proportion to worrying. It does take some practice. And I'm getting right on it.

On a totally different note, I'm currently listening to Miss Saigon, singing to the tune, loving every part of it, because the heat is on in Saigon!
I remember a couple of years ago, I saw this with my best friend, Apes, when Miss Saigon went to the Philippines, and Lea Salonga reprised her Tony Award winning role.
It's soothing, really, my favorite musicals, despite the intensity, and despite how vivid it still is to me, such a movie in my mind.
I wish I could see more musicals. JesUs doesn't like it, he says he's not there yet. Maybe I should still look some up, and bring my parents. I'm sure they'd love it.

where'd my comment go?
huh.
anyway,
being zen sweetie doesn't mean caring less, just caring enough. enough to acknowledge something at the right moment, and then letting it be.
maybe you just cared so much before, but yeah, if you take the 'so much' away then you just care, and let that be enough.
it's not easy. it's a constant learning and unlearning process.
if you meet the buddha, kill him :)
this is so amazing... i posted this yesterday, right, and last night I had a dream about you! And it was kind of bad! and now you leave me a comment! you really know when I'm calling!
ah... buddha... seriously. seriously!
seriously! :p
how bad was the dream?
i always die in other people's dream and right when i'm at a crossroad in my life.
i can't write about it coz i don't want to invoke the cosmic powers of udlot, but if it pans out the way i hope it does, i'll let you know :)
You were screaming! Some white cloudy smoke was getting close to us, I guess, but apparently I can't see it, I only know. And you were looking at it, screaming, telling me that I should go, and leave you in that room. I was shaking you and all that, and you just wanted me to leave already.
I must have screamed too because in real life, JesUs woke me up.
I hope everything is okay with you.
Love you ate jing!
