Bit of a late start this morning. I don't know why but I felt really shattered yesterday .. maybe it was the early coffee and subsequent come down but by the time the evening came, I really didn't want to go to the Buddhist Meeting but forced myself. Sometimes you just know you're not going to enjoy it and the first 20 mins of the chanting were dreadful, I couldn't hear the rythm due to a member who chants very strangely an emphasises it wrongly which threw me. All ended up ok though .. so I guess that was just one of those obstacles :)
Received the Monthly Guidance this morning and one bit stood out for me which was a quote by the second president Josei Toda who said "There is always a crux, a key point in every situation. Be sure never to miss it!".
That's quite pertinent to me really. I recognise that point and when it comes, I usually do what I do in times like that ... revert to playing the class fool ... Now there's something to chant about !!
Anyway .. It's a late start today .. needed to sleep in a bit especially as I woke about 5 having some weird dreams about calling the emergency services who told me to stop calling them all the time .. I think the implication was that I'd accidentaly called them on my mobile too many times and they wouldn't respond to me now ... !!! I'm sure there's a message in it somewhere !! Good job I don't analyse dreams eh !! I personally think that dreams are like a release valve for fears and phobias ... get them out your system while you're asleep .. sounds good to me !!
