The Search For Enlightenment

The past couple of weeks have been tough for all of us, mentally. Nobody has been sleeping properly and eventually it caught up with me.

We’ve all been worrying about Charlotte, and were all relieved when we learned that she can still carry her baby. I’ve been working hard on the web project, with tight deadlines. That situation has eased slightly, though by no means finished.

The combination of the two must have had more effect on me than I had realised and the slight easing in the situation let me see that.

When I got home this evening, my life-energy was low, I was so tired I was feeling ill. I had to chant, and although I felt better afterwards, I decided to have a nap.

Three an a half hours later I woke to the sound of the phone ringing.

So a good lesson, my Buddhist Practice is brilliant, it helps me handle life’s situations, but it can’t replace good old fashioned sleep.
