The dharma talk today resonated with me profoundly. Anam Thubten said the dharma was the journey of living this life on earth. Not transcending our human existence, but living it as beings of 10,000 joys and 10,000 sorrows. Transcendence is not escape our fate as humans, but embracing it, by transcending our egos and seeing that there is no there there. We are divided by our egos, united by our common essence. Ordinary life, with it's ups and downs is the blessing, the path. I love that message, and believe it as the core truth for me.
I then had lunch with my friend, and we enjoyed catching up and witnessing each other's intentions and challenges. We were both in a mood to be proud of our behavior. I felt good about my trip and she felt the same about hers.
It's a drizzly day, with real rain predicted for tomorrow. I hope so, as we could use it. For tonight, I'll be happy reading or watching a movie. Tomorrow morning I have a mammogram and Tuesday 2 1/2 hours in the dentist office for a crown. Ugh!
