Wisdom & Friendship

June 23rd 2007 00:13

I caught up with an old friend last night, old friends are the best, there is nothing like sitting with someone who knows you and you are deeply connected to and having an endless conversation. You know those ones that meander along forever, twisting and turning; they take many different paths and never get boring...time becomes nothing except the annoying thing that tells you have to be somewhereand save the rest for another day that always feels too far away. You discover new things about each other when you think you know everything there is to know, one of my favourite things in life I think.

Anyhow as I was talking to my friend I remembered that years ago she totally changed my life with something that she said to me( of course she didnt even realise how much impact her words had on me) I told her that no matter what happens in life she will be in my heart forever because her coments changed my life and became part of me.......at the time she was studying cranial Osteopathy and at a course and the Lecturuer told her...."wisdom is the mind accepting the way things truly are" so simple, so true and so bloody hard to do but just knowing this simple thing has been an amazing thing for me. It totally made me look at life differently; stop fighting things that can't be changed, accept them, embrace them, move on....let them be and not allow them to interfere in your space, it truly is an amazing thing, I am not saying I am anywhere near wise so please don't think I am preaching. It is just such a beautiful way to look at things and has brought me a lot of peace so I thought I would share...

....happy Orbling

Most wisdom is accrued through accidental incidents occurring at an oportunistic moments with profound impetus, in a synchronistic fashion: it happens.

Don't panic when it surfaces.

Louie,

that is part of the teaching of the Tao, which is what I've been studying for nine years now...

And I'm telling you, becoming a Buddhist was the best thing ever to happen to me....

I still have a temper tantrum every now and again, cause the Irish in me will never truly be put down...

But wisdom does come from accepting things for what they are and not letting anything ruin your inner peace and harmony!

Loved this piece....great read...sorry it's taken me so long to comment on though! I've been remiss as of late in commenting on anything, so don't feel bad...

Take care,

Nick
