the mind-body disconnect is so undesirable sometimes.
absolute self-control is unattainable. detachment is highly improbable. (i've realized, though, selective detachment is what i'm really seeking - which may make the situation even more problematic) what's the next course of action i can settle for?
i wish there was some easy process by which i could rid myself of that sinking stomach feeling. correction - this feeling. i wish i could trade it for being physically ill. unfortunately, that decision isn't mine to make.
how are these things reconciled?
i feel like i'm gaining the ideas that i want to put into practice within myself, but instituting them is another matter entirely.
take refuge in nothing outside yourself.
all composite things must pass away. strive onward vigilantly.
-the last words of the buddha.
