The First Day of this New Year. Isn't this the year the world ends? Well, then, as the inimitable Andy Arts advises, "Live every day like it is your last." Or maybe that's the Rigpa: "According to the wisdom of Buddha, we can actually use our lives to prepare for death. We do not have to wait for the painful death of someone close to us or the shock of terminal illness to force us to look at our lives. Nor are we condemned to go out empty-handed at death to meet the unknown. We can begin, here and now, to find meaning in our lives. We can make of every moment an opportunity to change and to prepare—wholeheartedly, precisely, and with peace of mind—for death and eternity." So anyway, with all due respect for all that, my wish for this year is to find good work that pays me decently and leaves me a little time to WRITE.
Amen for now.
