Our time together is winding down - for some, that is absolute joy and for others, not such good news. "You've changed my life..." versus "She's such a *%$#@...". The craziest thing about spending nine months in each others' orbits is that the same events can occur but the experience is different. Room 853 is what it is and you got out of it whatever you put in...Amazing how that works. Sorta like life.
At any rate, these are just my random thoughts as I "brain dump" onto the blog while y'all type away at college stuff (or other stuff...I'm always watching). Random things happened today - I have some pudding (well, my version of pudding - vegan, chocolatey, delicious) and I learned that you can make quesadillas with corn tortillas? Whaaat? I have new Dark Horse ground coffee in my backpack and LD gave me a strawberry. We sang to CK and sand was found near CO. Bizarre. But despite all that, I just have these two words swirling on repeat in my mind: metta and maitri.
Metta.
Maitri.
Metta.
Maitri.
Any of y'all know what those words mean?
Here's some more: mudita, upeksha, karuna. Always karuna.
Anyhoo, time to stop blathering...7 more school daze until FINALS.
