About the trustworthy knee. Why is it that just when my mind and heart are in a place of relative zen, my body decides that it must needs rebel against the overall calm state I'm working towards and instead careen down degenerative alley?
ARGH. Go figure. You can't have everything, as the universe always reminds me. And yet, I still can't help but feel super grateful and lucky for the ease of life that my youth and freedom have afforded me. There are hundreds of thousands of people starving in Somalia because of the worst drought in the horn of Africa in ages and the fact that militant extremists are preventing them from fleeing to get aid...
I will never again worry about such trivial matters as the expense of buying the groceries and other things that I need and want. At least I have the access and ability to even make the purchase!
Today is shaping up to be a day of much work + money making and a little bit of play in the evening... but at the heart of everything I maintain an overwhelming flood of hope against calamity and suffering, love against anger, and peace against the hatred of war.
