a passing thought...

It's strange how this place never allows you to be fully comfortable, yet I have started liking being here in the past few days. I wouldn't even call it liking....its just something about this place that stretches you way out of your comfort zone...it takes you from a process of thinking sometimes, to complete involvement in action, to just going into yourself, to feeling restless and agitated and purposeless to states of such peace and bliss. It's all within you, and you start recognizing the ups and downs this mind takes you through.
You also see all different kinds of people here, doing all different kinds of things based on their own making. They are just being themselves most easily in whatever they are doing. But they also keep moving out of their jobs of liking to experience jobs that break them. It helps them realize how any activity when done with full involvement becomes a meditation in itself. It doesn't matter what you do here, you just do anything thats put infront of you...from mopping and sweeping the floors, to guiding people, to cutting vegetables, to serving people during meals, to planning the next program, to working in the home school.....anything done with your 100% is yoga, is meditation....its beautiful when you aren't there anymore, only your work is.
