Bodhichitta.
Awakening mind. Mind of enlightenment. Today’s meditation.
So far, so peaceful. Which really helps me get out of the way of myself. It’s like Pink’s song “I’m a Hazard to Myself”. Love the line, “…. don’t let me get me….”
I’ll let you know how it goes.

A Year of Significance 
So, why do these philosophical perspectives matter when there’s so much work to be done? Isn’t it a wee self indulgent?
Nope. Quite the opposite. I find I accomplish so much more and of such a truer nature when my head is on straight. When I’m at peace and happy — which doesn’t equate to addled or sedentary.
Today, I focused on being open minded and connected. I a pretty accepting person to begin with, so what I experienced today was an extra level of compassion. It somehow energized me to do what needed to be done.
Being connected is a different bag for me. I’m connected to many, but usually from a distance and most often with an electronic media in between us. I become so absorbed in tasks that sometimes personal contact feels intrusive and irritating. Just ask my husband (poor guy). Whew, I can give a look that withers. I decided today to join in — and it was lovely.
Today’s Significant thing is like all the other days. The focus today doesn’t indicate completion. Things are not all wrapped up in a convenient episodic package. I hope that by choosing something every day, that I am enhancing my repertoire and putting more and more in motion. That’s good. I like that.
Happy January 5, 2010. Here’s to today and to tomorrow. And all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death….
Significantly,
Susan
