(Things I shouldn't be thinking during) Meditations Day 3

Hey everyone, this isn't exactly day 3 so the title is a little misleading but it is after a medidation so close enough.  Today was a pretty good meditation, it was 30 minutes and I actually did it at work! Lots of thoughts occupied my mind today, probably because I was in a pretty good mood; it goes like that some times. They say its actually easier to let go of the world when you're unhappy which can bring you closer to enlightenment but not necessary.  Again, suffering is never necessary.

In my deep thoughts there were signs of my old relationships all over the place.  Whizzing around my head like the wizard of oz, just pieces here and there and even when I couldn't see them I knew it was her, or just the feeling of her.  I forgave her, I condemned her, the usually really, just not so much in a direct way.  Anyway there was also a thought of Marcus Aurelius and his stoicism, and how his qoute "just do what needs to be done" has rung true for so many things for so many years.  I began to think of nature and how it follows this principle and has achieved everything we could see or ever have.  I mean think about it, when water meets upon a valley, it goes down it, without thought or so much even action, it just does because that's what is done.  The same way lightening is produced by a place of overabundance going to a place of defeciet in a certain something and there by stablizing the environment.  I just mean this seems to be the way of everlasting peace, of changes that mean something.  I feel like when we think about something too much or mess with it, or try to build it up too big, it falls, it is not everlasting.  I mean nothing is everlasting but, it's on shakey ground, it's not built with care, it's not built with the dao.  I don't know I just feel like there are certain reasons why somethings have stood the test of time. I'm not saying we shouldn't use our brains but I do think we just need to do what needs to be done, and stop there.  No extra bells, no extra whistles, because it's all vanity really, anything done for the purpose of one's own self is vanity. Are you willing to give up something small for the whole world.

Namaste ~
