Wisdom and Love

[Patrick]

I balance deep forays into spirituality with very mainstream and mundane things. Like going to movies, restaurants, hosting diner parties and playing video games. And of course, with my work as a computer programmer. During all of which I relate with people at the level they are comfortable with.

There's nothing like reading about metaphysics for an hour and then going to a restaurant. I find restaurants to be one of the most difficult places to feel oneness because of the money/server interactions. In essence though, it is the sharing of a meal that is such a beautiful thing, must not let capital get in the way

Yes, even if I tip very well, I feel like I am participating in slavery. Because very often it feels like the waiter would prefer doing something else. When they are truly happy doing that job, I can feel it and it alleviates some of my qualms, but even then I still feel like it's wilful slavery somewhat. But that is part of accepting this planet the way it is and loving the experience it provides. Not always an easy proposal, but it gets easier with practice.
