Last night we went to a party with neighbors, featuring a potluck and, of all things, a talent show.
Everyone did actually have a talent - and one worth watching. Several were amazing. I left with the impression that they were kind of evolved or at the very least accomplished. Without a doubt, they were all very nice and friendly and interesting.
I did something stupid, however. As we were talking about spirituality and evolution, I told a friend that I thought I might get divorced. She reacted very surprised, annoyed, and protective of my wife, who was standing just a few feet away. Told you it was stupid.
The contrast of events - meaning my stupid comment and their ...lightness - has me thinking that too much of my thinking is about me.
Yes, this blog is about figuring out how to transcend my limited life and overcome my sad existence, but I think I am ready to broaden my focus beyond defining "me" over and over again. First of all, no one is interested. Second, it can be a rabbit hole at times.
Hmmm time to meditate.
