This was a weird one. A contemplation with the express instruction not to become convinced by your own first responses, but to think carefully. It is so easy to fantasise. It is so easy to be persuaded and to become preoccupied by preference and ideals. I want this, I do not want that. I want my life to look this way, not that way.
Throughout my practice I could feel my mind dancing around the issue of responsibility, afraid to look directly at the elephant in the room. I have to make real decisions in response to Knowledge at some point, decisions that might take me very far outside of my comfort zone and challenge everything about my ideas of who I am and the kind of life I think I want. Fortunately, I am not tied up in relationships and engagements and responsibilities to people or places. My life is fairly simple. The only thing keeping me in place is my own hesitancy to follow what I feel.
