If you're lost about the title of this post, you'll see my friend you'll see.
So in Shambhala the meditation is meant to help with are awareness, living in the now. Have you ever driven and get home and not remember the entire drive but you knew you took the usual route home? You mind was not completely focused on the drive, imagine what 'might' have happened if something unexpected happening... I suppose you get the idea.
Well today at 7:15 am I was driving down San Pedro south of 410 toward San Antonio College for classes. Its 22 degrees outside, needless to say this is not normal weather for South Texas. So after a few blocks I run into a few miles where all the power is off. No street lights, not signals, no businesses have power at all. And yet half way through this blackout area I see a McDonalds, with about ten cars in the drive thru. Did I mention there is no power? There is no one in building? And yet these people are driving up expecting service. I kinda sat in my car in shock for a good minute before it was my turn to go through the stop and go of the signal area. What was worse, there were more people pulling into the lot getting in line.
Are these people awake? I think I found a new example about living in the 'Now' awareness....
