I'm sitting in the computer lab reading about the Upanishads and Hinduism and listening to worship music. I love my life. It's so full of comparisons and contradictions not all necessarily bad because like some religious studies philosopher said you can't truly understand one thing without knowing the other. I love reading. If I could I would be a bum in the streets of Berkeley, California and my only possession would be a library card. GAH as I'm typing this I have so much on my mind. I compare my thoughts to the broad depths of Hinduism. And as my thoughts progress certain underlying themes/understandings arise and to each outsider trying to it is a unique grasp. Because Hinduism is so broad each individual studying/trying to understand it or taking part in it can receive something completely different than the next. I use Hinduism as an example because I am reading extensively about it and gaining and interesting grasp on it. Just as you can learn something from every person. You can learn something from every religion and culture and so on and so forth. As much as I want to stress and freak out about the Mount Everest of a work load/schedule ahead of me I know I am where I am supposed to be and thankfully God is keeping me at peace. Just a little healthy distraction/break from my relentless reading. Ta ta for now.
