I wonder

I had a strange but wonderful dream last night. I dreamt i was walking in a place surrounded bush lush fresh grass. I felt the wind in my hair, ( fact is my waist length hair is no more and I look like a hedgehog right now ), I could almost smell the scent of the tiny flowers growin gsporadically around. In the midst of all this were huge structures made out of aged rock or stone, ornamented with a variety of buddhist motive carvings. I appraoched to to see the carvings and caught sight of a Standing Buddha image with a smiling face and eyes half-closed in meditation. I dont really know why, but in my dream, I was so moved by the sight of that Buddha i began to cry and cry and cry. I cried not out of sadness, or guilt, or fear... I did not feel any of those emotions... but I felt a rush of faith and a feeling of belonging, i felt as if I had met an old friend that I have been away from for a very long time.

Thereafter the dream went on with details which I cannot remember, and I happened to return to the carving again, and again tears started rolling... this time, I woke up to reality. My face was still damp with traces of drying tears.... and in my heart, i felt a kind of "happiness" that i cannot describe. I felt like a warm aura of confidence and joy... i felt safe.

I wonder if dreams have any real significance in our waking hours but if they do... I sure hope this dream is a "auspicious" one.

Pay money to torture myself?

Geeze, the soles off my feet hurt !! Its as if I had been running a 1500km run over gravel ground without any footwear!! Yesterday was like the first time I went for a foot reflexology massage. I have heard raving reviews about how great it is fo rthe health, like if you press a certain pressure on the foot it affects another part of your bodyto promote healing. Its true my shoulders dont hurt no more, but my feet sure hurt as hell!!!

Puja day again... each SUnday as if like clockwork ... the Buddhist centre where I am attached to has a study class session and prayers at 4pm. I thought I woul dbe feeling lazy to g o, but surprisingly, I'm not... I wonder what topic I should bring up for discussion today?
