Please ignore the swath of time between this post and Meditation 4. Much to my chagrin, I appear to have actually gotten swept away in life itself rather than thinking about it. There is much to be said, and this Meditation will be more of a journal entry to capture that need rather than a philosophical reflection.
Where to begin? I am currently sitting at a cafe before my first class of the day. I had a lovely hot drink, and am sitting towards the back so I can watch the people as they go by. I have spent more time with people I enjoy and less time with those that I do not enjoy, and have made an incredible effort to call those in different cities more often. Most of my commitments (jobs, positions, etc), have faded as the semester reaches over halfway, and I have found myself with a surprising amount of time on my hands. I have tried to spend it in fulfilling ways: photography, art, and exploring new places. Indeed, each day is passing, but I do not feel frightened about it. I feel as if I am surrounded by people who care about me.
I also feel that the less I try to establish how exactly I should be living, the easier it is to simply live. Perhaps I am doing myself a disservice by writing these Meditations. In any case, I need to go to my class. It is a nice spring day out, and I intend to enjoy it to the fullest.
