Detach

I have to relearn or reemphasize detachment.

One day as I was walking along Van Ness faster than the cars which were stuck in a traffic jam I noticed that in my simple ambling, I was far happier than those attached to their cars.

That was kind of those rare moments of enlightenment.

 

But often I think having that Jalopy or that toil or the world's largest telescope will lead to happiness. That is not the case. I need to relearn that.

I guess the reason that dogs have gotten so well into our lives is through their simple actions they force you into the present moment.  

 

I remember I was having a bad day when I was dog sitting Raider and Brando and I took them for a walk. Upon our return I was still full of bad energy related to attachment. One of the dogs walked over with leash in mouth as they knew I needed to keep walking.

 

Not going into a lot of details but I have an opening for the role of cat sitter.
