Today.....so you know I do miss you and I realize that I do make you happier by allowing to vent and talk with me or put your head on my shoulder, but as I said, I have a different goal for the next year, one that will be very different from this year.  I would like to be your friend, but let me give it some thought away from you.  I hope you are enjoying each moment of your day.

I just realized within the last couple of days that I know so little about you, because you tend to hide things, but you do give it away with your emotional actions.  This is not the kind of relationship that I want to be in from the very start.  Please find your better self, be clear and honest, because you will need it for the long road.  Have a wonderful journey next year, and you will always be a good friend to me.

For once upon a roof top, on a bridge on Friday night, a bright sunny day near a lake, a sensual kiss by your work place......and so much more.

Have you drove in the morning when all its quiet and then you hear a song, that's different, but captures your thoughts and emotions.  And when that similar occurs, you will always remember those moments.  I have driving home this morning, and I heard a song, I forgot what it was actually, but it reminded me off these songs from my past.

I was driving from work, after an all nighter, knowing that I had found the person that I want to spend my life with.



These next two are a little unique, because they have no additional emotional ties to them, but they took place on a quiet Saturday morning.

Mike Tyson

Once there was a time when Mike Tyson was thought to be unbeatable.  He had an aura of invincibility (and with it confidence) that made him to tough to beat and in the minds of the other fighters, until a guy name Buster Douglas who just gotten out of alcohol rehab beat him in Tokyo.  Mike Tyson never regained his mental form and confidence.

Revenge heals a small pain, but destroys and turns us into monsters.  I will learn from 2013 and be very good in 2014.

The Buddha's Last Words

After the conversion of Subhadda, the Buddha spoke again to Venerable Ananda. "It may be, Ananda, that some of you will say, 'without the Buddha, the Sublime Teacher, there is no teacher for us'. No, Ananda, you should not think in this way. Whatever doctrine and discipline taught and made known by me will be your teacher when I am gone."

Then the Buddha, addressing the other monks said, "If any amongst you has any doubts as to the Buddha, the teaching, or the order of monks, ask me now so that afterwards you may have no cause to regret that you did not ask me while I was still with you."

But at these words, none of the monks said anything. None had any questions, and all of them were silent. For the second and third time the Buddha addressed the monks in this way. And for the second and third time, all the monks were silent.

The Buddha said, "Perhaps it may be out of respect for the teacher, that you do not question me. Let a friend, O disciples, tell it to another friend." Still the disciples remained silent.

Then Venerable Ananda spoke to the Buddha, "It is wonderful. It is marvellous, Lord! I do believe that in all this great company of monks there is not a single one who has doubts or questions about the Buddha, the teaching or the order of monks, or the path and the method of training and conduct."

"With you, Ananda," said the Buddha, "this may be a matter of faith and belief. But, Ananda, I know that not one single monk gathered here has any doubt or question about these things. Of all the 500 monks here, Ananda, he who is the most backward is a sotapanna, not subject to fall back to a lower state of existence, but is certain and destined for enlightenment."

Then the Buddha addressed all the monks once more, and these were the very last words he spoke:

"Behold, O monks, this is my last advice to you. All component things in the world are changeable. They are not lasting. Work hard to gain your own salvation."

Then the Buddha lapsed into the jhana stages, or meditative absorptions. Going from level to level, one after the other, ever deeper and deeper. Then he came out of the meditative absorption for the last time and passed into nirvana, leaving nothing whatever behind that can cause rebirth again in this or any other world.

The passing away, or the final nirvana of the Buddha, occurred in 543 BC on a full-moon day in the month of May, known in the Indian calendar as Vesak.
