Tears, Worries and Network Faults
Nov. 8th, 2011 12:00 amerverFrom The Book of Awakening: Having the Life You Want by Being Present to the Life You Have.
The more we are worn by experience, the more of an inlet we become and the more the waters of life wash out of us. This is why tears come more easily the longer we are here.
So this is why I cry at everything?
That said though I wouldn't describe myself as being worn by experience, but certainly shaped by it… and I feel deeply… not just for myself, but for other people as well.
Right now I'm feeling for my poor by, Todd (aka Toddy Toady), who is a sick little rattie, and now on 2 different kinds of antibiotic to try and clear up his terrible infection. Yes, at least it's not a tumour, but I just hate to think of him being as sick as he is.
We had our cable go out today. Doesn't sound all that bad, until you realise that if our cable goes out we have no phone, no internet and no TV… no, there's a link honest – it's to do with being shaped by experience. Those people that know me, know that I positively hate talking on the telephone to people. I'll avoid it if at all possible, so… when mum handed me her mobile phone, to go and cook the dinner, and told me to deal with our cable provider when the called back – I was not too happy… and it didn't help that I had to be 'firm' with the people on the other end either, especially when they told us it was going to be Wednesday before they got an engineer out to us. As it turns out it was a network fault and was fixed within a half hour of getting off the phone with the supervisor at the cable company. Perhaps they heard Dad in the background suggesting I demand Richard's phone number. (Joking of course).
But it made me wonder what experience it is that shaped my dislike of talking to people on the phone. I can't for the life of me figure that one out…
Spirit like water
is a source of life.
We cannot live dry.
