Why and What

Why blog? Well, for me I've narrowed it down to 2 reasons:

1. I find it quite therapeutic to review my day and try to come up with 1 or 2 things that were new or out of the ordinary. It is also nice to ponder about things you are thankful for or to remember people you know or have come in contact with that have a positive impact on your life.

2. I suppose it is a sort of journal or diary. In the future, it will be fun to go back and read old entries.

Now, what is that "Lamp-Flame" business all about? Well, it is a Buddhist Proverb I came across. I like it because it helps me remember a couple things:

1. We need to be better at living in the "now." Life is short and fragile. There isn't enough time to use up "now" worrying about the past or the future.

2. We need to learn not to resist things we cannot control. Just as a flame bends and flickers in the wind, we need to be flexible in our own lives.

And now, I need to go worship a cow......or something.
