enlightenment eludes me…

November 2, 2006 by randomguru 

It’s tough…

Trying to find that well of inner peace… inner strength. Usually I can get very depressed during the holiday season.

But, today I had a short 15 minute routine of sun salutations in the morning, a 2 hour yoga session around noon, and a half hour yoga routine in the evening. I should be enlightened by now, but I guess not.

Sure, I am in a better place I feel, and I try my best to deal with all the bad luck that seems to plague me lately. Is it really bad luck? Or just one of life’s many tests.

Okay, let’s see….

1. The dishwasher is broken.

2. My son’s iPod was broken, but fixed now after dishing out $87.

3. My family’s newest and best computer is broken and currently in the shop getting fixed. It will take 7-10 business days before we get it back.

4. My wife’s car’s air conditioning is not working.

5. And I just found out that I lost 3 upcoming gigs, and things look pretty lean in November and December.

Other than the above, I guess I’m on the journey to enlightenment and doing fine… November is a time when we should count our blessings and realize that things could always be worse….

But before I get too depressed, I should run along and read some philosophical studies and meditate…. and contemplate my navel rather than my troubles.

Peace & Love
