Great Minds Think Alike (but you already know that)

Highlights: Walking to LG cafe through decades of my personal history to meet Brian for breakfast. Hanging out with Jonathan at Peets in the afternoon. Taking the VTA Light Rail downtown and hearing some cool jazz and mesmerizing opera. Jen spent the evening at Cindy's with their family and needed a ride home which I happily provided even though I don't like being around people who've been drinking alot, which makes me uncomfortable, I'm glad she knows when to not drive.

Insights: Today's "Daily Buddhist" passage directly hit a key aspiration. Complete full conscious acceptance of and even full embracement of impermanence. Not just logically, but emotionally. Aggressively. It's difficult to do. I have passing moments of fleeting awareness, yet ongoing reflex apprehension to making it a truly constant state of mind. Plus I can be a buzzkill for folks drinking. It's all connected.
