The pic is from last July...Josh and I in NYC atop the Metropolitan Museum of Art. They have a kick-ass garden on the roof with sculptures and such and of course it's overlooking Central Park.
I found this Buddhist prayer yesterday and I can't stop reading it because it gives me such a great feeling inside:
May all beings be happy, content and fulfilled. May all beings be healed and whole. May all have whatever they need. May all beings be protected from harm and freed from fear. May all enjoy inner peace and ease. May all be awakened, liberated and free. May there be peace in this world and universe.
I really do wish for all those things and sometimes I feel very overwhelmed with the troubles of our world. It is easy to get wrapped up in the cycle of confusion and immobility but what gets me out of it is focusing on how I live my life day to day. I think about what improvements I can make no matter how small, how I can bring joy to my family, friends and strangers in my community, how I can live more simply and be more positive.
I'm awaiting to hear if I will get an interview for a job I've wanted for some time. They called me the other day to tell me they are passing on my resume to the head honcho. I'm feeling uneasy about it because although I want the job for financial security reasons, I feel scared of how my whole life will change. Wow, look at me go, worrying before I even have an interview! Freak! This is sometimes how I am.
In other news, today is a lovely day and I am going on a bicycle ride.
