got up around 5am, reached work aroun 7:45
out at around 5pm reached downtown around 6 and was stuck in the middle of a traffic stoppage caused by a building on fire. anyway got to the meditation place by 6:30,,,,, then was in the middle of an intense and varied group discussion on the slokas (verses). was interesting to hear peoples take on things and how they related to the words..... and I was not having much to say and felt peoples eyes staring at me when ever there was silence and it was like they were expecting me to say something... hmm is it because I look like a buddhist monk and they instinctly expect me to say something wise.
when an aggressive old man brought up the topic of tailgating and people cutting you off and asking for other reaction, I was well in the game, as I was and have been trying to practice the transfer of good feelings towards people who I thought were doing something bad and was wishing them good and in turn felt good about thinking good thoughts about them.... it kind of stuck a chord among them.
