Sputtering along
Wheels don't turn as fast as they used to ...

Sweet baby, roll on
Roll on
Sweet baby, roll on
Keep on rolling
Sweet baby, roll on
Lead the way againThe Little Willies and hmm ... Yum! Norah Jones ...
Feeling good ...
I'm riding out ...
To Rider ...
Today
To see what it's all going to be about ...
And accompanying me, sweet baby, roll on ...Download 07_roll_on.wma
... mmm ... and Lead the way again ...
Oh, and one more thing. Byron Katie has me thinking:
Much of our stress comes from mentally living out of our own business. When I think, "You need to get a job, I want you to be happy, you should be on time, you need to take better care of yourself," I am in your business. When I'm worried about earthquakes, floods, war or when I will die I am in God's business. If I am mentally in your business or in God's business, the effect is separation ... and I realized that every time in my life that I had felt hurt or lonely, I had been in someone else's business. If you are living your life and I am mentally living your life, who is here living mine? We're both over there. Being mentally in your business keeps me from being present in my own. I am separate from myself, wondering why my life doesn't work.
Mary and Natalie,
That's why I found that passage interesting. Because of all the interpretations and "loose threads." I guess I just have to read on and understand fully what she is talking about ...
Smiles.

I think it depends on motive. If I am in someone's business because of a need to control, to be in charge, however well-meaning, then no-one benefits.
If I am genuinely reaching out to help from the heart, from a place that recognises the other's autonomy,rather than neediness, then I perhaps that is the only time that I can be of assistance? I don't know. That's a high ideal, and most of the time I for one don't reach it.

BK's text is partly true and partly not. When one is "in one's own business" all the time (which dyed-in-wool egocentrics usually are) you lose track of reality, including of other people's and the world in general's reality. I understand and appreciate what she's saying, but there are lot of loose threads in it.
