UK Soon!

what a gorgeous sunny day it is here!

I walked to Russ’s office and remembered something I heard on my iPod Zencasts last night. I think they were talking about living not to cause harm to others.

I want to say right now that this is not an attempt for me to sound righteous or like I have ever thought of this point before. I learned long ago in high school that it was a better life to jump off the pedestal and get B grades than stay on the pedestal and be above things. Jump!

So Gil Fronsdal, the Zen teacher was saying that he knew a person who never crossed the street at light unless it flashed that it was okay to walk. His reasoning was that perhaps a child in a car was watching, his words were that you do not know who is watching, and that maybe this child would later think it was okay to cross when the signs said not to, and harm would come to that child by that experience. It would have been educational for him to go on with this wisdom line of thinking, but that was all that was said.
