"There's only one corner of the universe you can be certain of improving, and that's your own self"
~ Aldous Huxley
The tram on Flinders Street, the tram I am waiting for will be delayed by 10 minutes... And before I know it frustration and irritation have come to wait with me. My awareness fills with the following thoughts: "What am I going to do..?", "How am I going to fill the next 10 minutes whilst I wait..?", "Do I have a book...?"
As I re read that sentence the word "fill" immediately stands out. More and more I am noticing this incessant need to fill everything - my time, my self, my stomach, my brain..., with information, food, sustenance, stimulation. And yet this very need to fill completely removes the possibility of contentment or as the yogi's call it, Santosa. Perhaps all I may ever need or want is already available if I open myself up to it.
And whilst my ego is not really sure that it wants its sense of power to be usurped this way. I think I will try actually waiting for the 10 minutes. Simply being present; to the space, the stillness, the possibility of this moment.
Have a wonderful week,
