I'm sitting in the rehearsal space. Today I woke up in the morning feeling a deep dissatisfaction with my life.
I had an early brunch and chanted, meditated and did my pranayam. I am never going to stop praying for Arun no matter what.
I reflected on my life through the morning, and realised that my situation is my own responsibility. I have created the causes that have led to the reality of my life.
I started reading Letter to Horen. It's a very very long gosho that I wasn't able to finish in the morning.
Then I went to Kru's house. I met her for the first time today. Dee also joined me. Kru has fallen into some pretty bad times with ill health and a hiatus in her career. Me and Dee tried to encourage her and I told her what I'd been reflecting on. That good fortune comes from good conduct in thought, word and deed. I encouraged her to live with grace through her tough period. I also told her to write down her prayers, something that even I have to do.
We chanted for ten minutes and we studied The Three Kinds of Treasures.
"More important than the treasures of the storehouse are the treasures of the body and the treasures of the heart are most valuable of all."
Winter always turns to spring. The night always gives way to day. To live itself is a great honour.
I went back home and had two mangoes, kissed Ma and apologised to her for yesterday and did my evening Gongyo and Daimoku. I alao finished reading Letter to Horen.
Now I'm at rehearsals. It's Bachan sir's birthday today. I invited Arun for my play today. Also Kk sir has been calling me up for the past three four days and making small talk. Hope all is well with him.
I am feeling:
Happy
Happy that I met Kru and Dee today
Loving
Determined to create the right causes
Have to call up jd tomorrow
I am grateful for this play.
I am grateful for my friends.
I am grateful for my life with God's infinite love, Grace and blessings on it.
Kru's house was a veritable mess. Reminded me to always live cleanly and with grace.
Love,
Me.
