Babylon to Zion

Ahhhh!!! This is how I am feeling. I don't know any other way of putting it. I feel like I have once again over committed myself to far to many places. I am teaching out in Lenox and need to be in Nevada in less then four weeks. I need to stop in New Mexico on the way and being so close to home it would be crazy not to stop in Colorado. I have the option to possibly go back to school but may be cutting everything to close and at the same time I am trying to backpack around the world. Ha, when it is all down on paper it sounds as ridiculous as it feels. Oh and lets not forget to mention the added ingredient of love.

Ah love, what a crazy thing. It will knock you off track in a heartbeat and destroy your emotional state in moments while at the same time making you feel happy. I have been a little love drunk over the past month and I think it is time for me to get back on my own horse and ride. Really, I mean here I come with my big plans. Doing my own thing and then there she is one of the loves of my life put back in my path, and for that matter I back in hers. What is this all supposed to mean I don't know but I can surely say we will both learn something from it. It is hard to make someone happy in a materiel world when you are a anti-materiel man. I swear everything would be easier if I believed in the false security of money. I have to walk away from a life that ties me up with materiel attachment, so is this to mean I have to walk away from love. This is a much harder thing to do then to say. As soon as I even begin to walk away I feel my heart drop, this is the payment for letting myself get foolishly swept up in emotion. I will have to stand tall and speak my truth and let the cards land where they may. I am on a journey towards Zion not back into Babylon.

A king asked a sage to explain the Truth. In response the sage asked the king how he would convey the taste of a mango to someone who had never eaten anything sweet. No matter how hard the king tried, he could not adequately describe the flavor of the fruit, and, in frustration, he demanded of the sage "Tell me then, how would you describe it?" The sage picked up a mango and handed it to the king saying "This is very sweet. Try eating it!"

They who give have all things; they who withhold have nothing.

The man who is happy and pure
And likes his own company
Gathers the fruit of his practice
And the fruit of wisdom.

The man who knows the truth
Is never unhappy in the world.
For he alone fills the universe.
