A student is having a tough time navigating his busy life with family commitments, work obligations and personal commitments to practice. And it seems to be getting more difficult as we go into the darkest days of the year and the busiest time of year for most.
And, this is something that all of us go through right?
Our schedules have to change. The time changes. Our routines change. We need to drive differently. The drive at night is more difficult now.
It's an ever adapting practice. And the practice in general helps us become sensitive to life and how we are connected to it.
From the minute that you wake up to the minute that you go to bed, is this body spaceship, the same?
That's a good way to look at it.
You have a body spaceship.
Traveling through so called existence.
And this body spaceship isn't separate from what we call life.
And this body spaceship is prone to the external elements and the internal elements.
They're all - there's no external and internal but...
But if we see that we have this body spaceship and it's ever changing and it always needs - maintenance, it needs fuel, it needs upkeep.
You know, we can change the decals and the paint job on it right. We try to put in the good oil and everything but it leans to the left. Yeah, and this is just how it is - it’s always - it's always leaning to the left. And that's what we just work with. We just work with that, right?
And that certain times of year, especially right and this was the good thing, and probably something that, not probably, like we have gotten out of, is to be in harmony with the cycles of life.
This time of year, IS to go quiet. Is to go within. Is to go, keep it close with the home. You do less traveling less interactions because it's harder to travel, because the roads are full up with snow and the conditions have changed. So that's why people usually back in the day stored up for this time of year. Preparing for this time of year because they knew sort of in essence had to batten down the hatches.
