In Day 2 of Year 2008, I was reminded how bloody difficult it can be to remain cool when confronted with frustration. Due in large part to my insistence that I will be less explosive and more mellow, I was able to remain cooler than normal today when faced with some larger-than-life frustrations, but it was a struggle. When one's demeanor is akin to a rapid-fire series of minor explosions, a less explosive reaction to the vagaries of the day takes a concerted effort.
There is so much to be done, so many corrections to be made. After I make the necessary corrections to the earth and sky, perhaps I'll spend more time on myself. [Put the tongue in the cheek, please.]
I had a message from a friend; we hadn't communicated recently. A loved one of my friend's is seriously ill. I'm sending good thoughts to the both of them, knowing that my thoughts can't make a difference in outcome, only in the experience on the way there.
