GOOD COMPANY

GLAD YOU ARE HERE

Yes, it is good to be with you. You are important. We travel together. You can get ahold of this as do I, or you wouldn’t be reading this.

I wrote recently about me living an alternative life for you, and you doing the same for me. Thank you, and you are welcome. We are, oddly, one. Confusing and cool.

I have come to realize that I do what can be called a contemplative meditation. I think the needed thoughts without suppressing them, then I get quiet and enter Zen.

What is Zen? It is nothing. Nothing is a difficult concept. We are accustomed to keeping busy minds, always filled with something. An empty mind does not seem natural. In fact, it is difficult to imagine. But, it is something we cannot work toward. That is the opposite.

It is a mind without imagination. Blank. Void of thought. I can’t offer any guidance about accomplishing this. It is up to you. As I write, this is my premeditation contemplation. It is good to share my thoughts with you, if you are there.

If no one reads this, that is ok too. At least I’m listening. Yet, I like the idea of sharing thoughts. Good to have company. Would be nice if you would share back, but NO DUTY. That would spoil the conversation which needs to be comfortable, relaxed, relieving, no obligation to be fulfilled, natural.

It strikes me that too much of our lives, way too much, is spent attempting to satisfy others, meeting perceived obligations. We really don’t need to do that…
