On What Is

Observe what is with undivided attention.

(Bruce Lee)

Do not overlook the truth that is right before you.

(Ueshiba)

It is very easy to get to be so busy that I can choose to not grapple with more pressing issues of the mind. I pull this little trick on myself all the time, mainly because it dulls my senses from dealing with the most painful thing I have to think about right now.

But that's neither very brave nor very useful. When that truth, what really is compared to what I would like it to be, is observed, everything else makes sense. A hurtful kind of sense, but it's the only thing that does make sense. All that's left is to muster up the will power to keep staring it in the face and acting accordingly. Just thinking about it makes me so very tired.

-- Virgil

Continuation of the A-Z's of Me:
D - Drink or smoke: When I get the chance, and No

E - Easiest person/s to talk to: Navy buddy

F - Favorite song/s at the moment: Don't have one right now. I haven't had the time to properly sit down and listen to music. Sigh.
