Limitless Thoughts, Continued

Buddha's own son became one of the 'inner circle' of his followers... all of us struggle with things that are unnecessary... i think you can reach enlightment just as easy in a prison cell, riding on a bus, or picking up trash! i think that we as humans overthink our 'stabs at infinity'... we try to contain an ocean in a thimble! i also think that there's more holiness in changing a bedpan for an elderly person than in sitting in a church, a temple, or whatever! all of the answers are there, right in front of us! sometimes, stillness shouts at us! we're just too damn intellectually stubborn, far too intent on being on the 'right path'! the breakthrough comes when we're willing to sit and talk, and listen.... to share viewpoints, whether different or the same... most of all, to listen! the absolute beauty, and wonder of life, exuded through the simplest things!
