Rice in bowls Thursday January 4, 2007, 5 comments

One of the things that fascinates me about Buddhism is how simple it really is. And I don’t use the term “simple” in a negative or derogatory way. I also appreciate the moderateness of the belief structure.

I was bouncing around the web and came across Ian Muir’s website, on which he was discussing the four basic truths of Buddhism. A statement in that post leapt out at me, and sticks in my mind even now:

“For example, there is nothing wrong with enjoying a good meal, but you should be just as happy with a simple bowl of rice or bread.”

I’m no Buddhist, and I certainly don’t know much about Buddhism, but I respect that there seems to be no inherent sense of entitlement in the Buddhist belief structure.

I respect that a lot.

Z equals Wednesday January 3, 2007, 2 comments

“If A equals success, then the formula is A equals X plus Y plus Z. X is work. Y is play. Z is keep your mouth shut.”

– Albert Einstein

Forget relativity, or the conservation of mass and energy. Forget atomic theory, or the thousands of students. This is why Einstein ws a genius.

Prepare for a whirlwind Sunday December 31, 2006, 5 comments

Pisces

Prepare for a whirlwind journey of discovery toward prosperity and comfort, happiness and healing. The maverick energy of Uranus continues to slowly trundle on in your sign – its journey, which began in 2003, won’t end until 2011. Have you felt more independent and less willing to acquiesce to the demands of family and friends? Uranus and Jupiter have given you the confidence to assert yourself whereas in the old days you’d run and hide. Stop doubting your potential. To get what you want from 2007, be clear about what you don’t want. Keep feeding yourself nourishing, encouraging and positive thoughts. This year, you will feel more attractive, lovable and deserving of fulfilment than you ever have before. So, move ahead boldly into 2007 and open up all those doors that were previously barred, shut and bolted.

– Phil Booth, The Toronto Star

Damn it, I’m already looking good and feeing lovable, and its still 22 hours till 2007.

Back off, I’m opening doors!
