bodies and parking tickets
our bodies will not last...they will fail, they will get hurt, they will heal, they will take us on adventures, they will teach us respect and gratitude, restrain and caring. some of us are born with "limitations" of the body, yet our limitations are opportunities. caring about oneself is one of the most important lessons we can ever learn and the hardest one, because once there is caring inside, the outer comes easily. it's like, "duh."
i've gotten quite a few parking tickets this month...for various reasons. i was especially angry at the $140 one coming out of the restaurant 5 minutes late in a tow away zone after 4pm and i don't get angry very often. i decided to leave the anger on way home...it didn't suit me well. there's was nothing good that came from being angry, except perhaps learning to accept it knowing it was just an emotion and temporary process. by the end of the day, i turned getting the ticket into gratitude. there must be a reason i got these tickets right? i just wasn't being conscious....of time, of the signs and i thought i could get away with it a few times. i realize since i committed to learning and growing and loving, washing away my limitations and uncovering the soul, i can't really get away with much. actually, i can't get away with anything. and that's a blessing. i am grateful for the tickets - so i can learn this lesson this way instead of another that could be much worse.
money is money and i would give it all for the loving and learning i have known.
