The Holey Roof... Part II

The leak still goes on... (for now)

- The external kitchen roof still leaks.
- The master bedroom leaks.

Even though these were recently fixed :
- The external kitchen roof had a new layer of zinc at the leaking location.
- The roof above the Master bedroom was re-checked and tarred.

Thankfully,
- There is almost no leak from the car porch ceiling (So far I only spotted 1 single, hanging water droplet yesterday)
- There were two occasions where the internal kitchen leaked water. It was fixed again, with a zinc sheet above the hinge between the wall and the neighbour's roof.

I think I am calmer now as compared to before.

Treat things that happen as Karma that has ripen.
Treat hurting words like arrows that I transform into flowers as they arrive.

Seed of the Weed, Timebombs, Calamities

Seed of the Weed
Generally when people are not faced with serious difficulties in their lives, their minds wander and tend to create problems for the community.

Timebombs
The timebomb ticks away every second in the community where people sow discontent by means of wandering minds and wagging tongues.

Calamities
Is when people are thrown back into basic mode of their life - tending to their basic needs.

My father was right. In his own words, "When they are too free, they create problems!".

Hare Krishna.

HEN


HEN - Headache, Eyes, Neck

Head-ache, around the temple and eyes.
Eyes-painful, feels like they're popping out.
Neck-ache, stressed muscles.

Cluck, cluck, cluck.
Groan...

Thirty Years Later

Thirty Years Later (Deja vu)

Deja vu. I am experiencing the same situation I faced when I was a child. Once as a little child I was attending a funeral. There, I thought to myself, "I do not feel sad.I think I could laugh. Am I feeling neutral or do I not have compassion ?"

Thirty years later. I ask myself again the same question when I see so many scenes of suffering around me for so many years, including my own.

Reassessment:
I have suffered - emotionally and physically in the past thirty years. The fear remains there to haunt me now and then. The sympathy I have for others seemed to have faded - knowing that it does not really help.

Dharma(Duties/Path). Temporary Dharma of the body, Eternal Dharma of the soul. Eternity is beyond me. Can only see the immediate, hence, only performing my duties.

Passion. Losing it.
Security, Trust in others. Lost both.
Senses. Still there, I think.
Attachment. Definitely there - to Dharma, Senses.

Hare Krishna.
