"You cannot step twice into the same river, for fresh waters are ever flowing in upon you"

There is so much to be understood.
There is so much that does not need to be understood.

If you can't tell, I've been doing some reading for my Buddhist traditions class. I have a lot of stuff to learn. I have even more stuff to realize. I am looking forward to doing both. I think that my tuesday/thursday classes this semester are going to give me a lot to think about, and I hope that I am ready for that challenge. It has been a long time since I have had a class that has caught my interest while challenging my mind, and now I find myself having three such classes, all in a row. My mind is severely out of shape, so hopefully these classes won't bring too much hardship, not that hardship can't be handled...

I should get back to my reading now.

"To be is to inter-be; we cannot just be by ourselves alone. We cannot but inter-be with everything, non-us things. We are inevitably vast; we include all that is other than ourselves."
