An Epiphany

Another epiphany, I've finally become one with my spiritual name and have come to understand the significance of a Buddhist saying that always resonated with me.  My spiritual name is Padma, which means lotus flower, several years ago I was reading a book when I came across this Buddhist saying "May we all live like the lotus, at home in the muddy water."  It struck me as so profound on a personal level, but I thought it was something to aspire towards just like anyone else might do.  Now I get it.  Padma is now at home in the muddy water.  It's so fascinating to watch all the loose ends that are floating around in my life suddenly begin aligning themselves and starting to make so many things so clear.

It's starting to get chilly here, today the high is 41 and the low will be 33, so it's definitely hat weather!  I wore the fuzzy one the social worker gave me yesterday - now is this me or what?

I'm going to make a trek to Whole Foods in a little while.  I can walk all around the store and get my exercise in and it's more interesting than just making laps on the mezzanine.  I also need to pick up some more kale for my green drinks.  I figure today will be a good day since tomorrow I go in the opposite direction, to go to the clinic for a reflexology appointment.  I'm getting better at the buses, I found out the reason there aren't any schedules around for my routes is because they are making changes that should be out in a couple of weeks.  The drivers are so helpful and patient the schedules aren't really necessary, well I guess they are to be at the stop at the correct time, but I get that off Google Transit.  What did we ever do before the Internet?  It's mind-boggling the resources we have at our fingertips.  Remember in the "old days" when we had to go to the library and look something up rather than just Google it?  Wow!  I remember when we used typewriters with carbon paper to make a copy of something.  Things have really changed! 

I'll be back when I get home from Whole Foods!  You guys have a great day!
