Sitting here typing.

Here it is now, the 11th week of classes. The semester will be over in about 1 month. Hard to believe how fast it is going by…but that always seems the case. Time always seems to haved passed quickly when you are looking behind.

Thanksgiving is coming up soon and with it travelling and visiting family. Our families are about 4 hours north of us so there is almost as much travelling as there is visiting. It will be nice to see my brother and his sons, my in-laws, my Ma and step-father. I’m sure my brother’s sons have grown since I saw them this summer. The oldest will be 18 next month. Hard to believe really. I still think of him as a punk-ass-kid…I suppose I always will.

All we can do is pay attention and keep breathing. As long as there is memory there will be time. Past and future are not now. Buddhism suggests that one can reach that eternal and infinite mind-state by freeing the mind of discursive thoughts and existing solely in the now. When that happens there is no time. Only what is right now. That’s the idea at least. Not my idea mind you. I’m just sitting here typing.
