15 min of stretches n light yoga, a nice hot shower, lotion on lotion, fresh pjs, quick joint, snuggle up with my book and knock out. Maybe I’ll take some more edibles before I go upstairs, we shall see. Sounds a solid plan so far to me.
Okay! It's done. I'm over it.
it’s complicated because on one hand I do respect buddhism’s ideas on attachment- but there’s kind of this conflict I (and maybe some other people do to idk) feel between detachment manifesting itself as de-empathizing with people on an individual level vs. the act of empathizing with every single being. I really understand why most monastics practice the former, but it’s very... I literally can’t comprehend living my life without feeling other people’s emotions.
this isn’t to say that some monastics are robots- I just mean that they choose the path of happiness by removing themselves from the negative emotions of others. This is fine but I think it creates a great divide between people when you cannot physically and emotionally understand what they’re going through. I’m not even saying one is better than the other- I just think the difference is there and it changes the way tara interacts with her family, especially her father. Contrast this with june who has so much love in his heart for other people it might just kill him
I grew up in humidity. Like, air so thick you could cut it with a knife humid. Like, you sometimes wondered how you could breathe because it was so heavy. Like, I expected to see fish swimming through the air. And it never bothered me.
And then I lived in the arid climate of Colorado for 9 years.
And now I spend the evening doing performances in an air conditioned building, and feel like I’ve been dipped in a vat of sticky, slimy goo.
