Sunday, the 1st of September, 2024. The title of today's reflection is going to be Sea Water. Some of my most recent experiences, compared with the experiences of those around me, which I guess in a way I can compartmentalize them in one word, and that word is suffering,
effectively leads me to believe, or even leads me to imagine, to a certain extent, that life is like being in a vast ocean. An ocean in which
because of the tide, sometimes you're able to see the horizon that's ahead of you and sometimes you are completely engulfed by the crazy unsettled waves of the ocean. So much so to the point that your suffering in extent is like the sea water that you meet along the way. It's insane the way that I kind of like this idea to the way that I'm currently living my life now and I guess to a certain way in a way that I've been living my life for quite some years.
I'm just in an ocean with everyone, you, anybody that's listening right now, the people that I've come to know. I am just basically in an ocean swimming, trying to keep my head above the water. Every now and again I look to my left, every now and again I look to my right and I'm happy to see the heads that are still above the water. However, time goes on, time passes on, we continue to swim and as I look to my left and my right, sometimes the people
that were once there were no longer present. I feel that to a certain extent we are all just trying to swim to some end which is quite fascinating. I'm not sure what that end is. However, at the same time, I believe that the best practice and the best thing that we could do for ourselves is try to avoid to engulf too much seawater.
