Who is God?

"Are you looking for me?
I am in the next seat.
My shoulder is against yours.
You will not find me in Indian shrine rooms,
not in synagogues, not in cathedrals,
not in masses nor sacred songs.
not in legs winding around your own neck,
nor in eating nothing but vegetables.

When you really look for me, you will see me instantly.
You will find me in the tiniest house of time.

Kabir says, “Student, tell me, what is God?”

"He is the breath inside the breath."

You know those moments when you just want to curl up in the fetal position and hide under the covers? That's been my week in a nutshell. I just want to be at home, whatever that means. I guess it means I want the comfort of knowing that I'm taken care of, that someone else "has my back" and can help provide for me during the tough times.

So far this week I've had my car incorrectly booted (had to pay a lot to get it removed), got in a small car accident last night (have to get repairs done, which will be costly), saw my ex (never a good thing), was gossiped about at work, got a burn on my arm from the fire at work, almost threw up on a customer and had to go home (thought I had the flu!), and have still been working a crazy schedule.

All while trying to be friendly and help people out with favours, and trying to be true to myself.... I get shit on by life.

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL

A wise professor once said, "A lack of planning on your part does NOT constitute an emergency on my part." I wish I could pass this along to all the rich, grumpy tourists... because I am *really* tired of catering to people who aren't considerate enough to PLAN accordingly. (Dr. Susan Harwood your words had more power than you ever knew!)
