Profound thought of the day…
Today in theory class I said something profound about our readings. We were discussing the idea of dwelling and how we dwell. We also talked about dwellings relation to the earth, sky, the divinities and mortals, what the author called the fourfold. Well one of the question we were asked to answer was how did the author thinks we can ensure a good death. I said that saw it as because we are mortals we die but when we die our souls become part of the divinities, while our body becomes part of the earth and sky, helping preserve our dwelling. So through death mortals continue this cycle of dwelling, which ensures a good death. Some deep thoughts earlier today…
Why I need to always remind myself to be thankful…
Haven’t written in awhile, so despite being busy and having no time for anything I decided to simply write for a few minutes. Today was the first day of Chinese New Year, and officially the year of the Dragon. It’s suppose to be my year and so my time for luck. Didn’t start out that way though, first with no luck in finding parking in the ideal location. Then a difficult class where we discussed a book I barely comprehended. This was followed by a long afternoon of working on a display of student work that was not coming together. Essentially today was one of those rough Mondays. By the end of the night I could barely function, and needed sleep. I didn’t get it, today is suppose to be the start of my luck. I think I was a little too selfish to be asking for luck that is all for me, since others probably need it more than I do. Despite all this, one thing made the day worth it. A little visit from friends I rarely get to see, Andy (an old friend from Melbourne) and Marquel (my grand little). Although piles of work are mounting right next to me right now, I think it was good that I took a few hours to sit and catch up with them, including my roommates. It was the best part of the day, and I was glad to take a little break from the stress of the day. Now I need to always remind myself, that even after a bad day there will always be one moment or more to make it worth while. Or simply stated:
“God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow,sun without rain, but He did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.”
There is much suffering in the world - physical, material, mental. The suffering of some can be blamed on the greed of others. The material and physical suffering is suffering from hunger, from homelessness, from all kinds of diseases. But the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, having no one. I have come more and more to realize that it is being unwanted that is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience.

It’s strange, but I really like when the lights go off in the movies because then I am no longer a homeless kid.

Tonight got an e-mail reminding me about the Architect for Humanity Conference in NY this weekend… too bad I am not going. My heart just about broke when I saw the e-mail. NY someday you and I will meet. I’ll just wait till then, but for now just looking forward to going home soon.
