Is a Warm, Spot in the Shade so Much to Ask For?

March 2, 2017

I was doing a walking meditation, contemplating the inevitability of aging. I thought a little about my body, my life, my family…thought about old pictures and how different everyone looks. Thought about clothes and sizes … Still nothing was really penetrating, I was just going through the motions. I kept pacing, pacing, pacing, and suddenly I became aware of my path. Originally, I had been walking a circle that had…

Happy Valentine’s Day!!!

March 2, 2017

So on the night before Valentine’s Day, I ask my son if he got anything for mom. He said no. He wasn’t planning anything. As usual, I asked him why and as usual he said “I don’t know.” I then proceeded to lecture him about how we sacrifice for him and take care of him and he was not appreciative of what we do for him. I noticed that he…

Charging the battery

February 9, 2017

After arriving at my place in Bangkok last February and switching on the wi-fi in the condo, I saw that I missed a call from Meaw (my wife). I called her back. She told me that her car woouldn’t start. I asked her a bunch of question and had her start the car and let me listen. It sounded like the battery was low. I remember Toyota telling me that…

Jason and the Computer – Part 2

February 2, 2017

One day Jason was doing homework on the computer. He was doing online lessons on a website that the school told him to go to. When I was walking out to where he was studying, I saw that he closed a window on his computer. When I questioned him about it he said he didn’t close a window. I know what I saw and I knew that he was lying….

Once while I was vacation in Thailand….

January 26, 2017

Once I was vacationing in Thailand and while I was walking back to my place in Bangkok, I noticed a truck in the side street that led to my place. It was carrying a large metal frame object. It was stopped and holding up traffic because it couldn’t get pass low hanging wires. I saw a person on top of the truck wrapping a wire around the tangled wires. I…

Twilight zone S1 E5 – Walking Distance

January 19, 2017

I was watching some old episodes of Twilight Zone. There was one episode (Season 1 – Episode 15 – Walking Distance) that I liked. The episode was about an advertising executive who hated his life. One day he just got into his car and started driving. He stopped at a gas station for an oil change, when deciding what do while he waited, he saw a road sign that said…

ตำหนิคนอื่น

January 12, 2017

วันนี้ขับรถอยู่สังเกตุว่ามีรถมาขับจี้ข้างหลัง มองเห็นป้ายคนพิการแขวนอยู่หน้ารถคันนั้น สักพักก็แซงเราเข้าเลนขวาไป ในใจเรานึกตำหนิทันทีเลยว่า คนพิการทำไมขับรถจี้และขับเร็วขนาดนี้  พอรู้สึกตัวว่ากำลังตำหนิคนอื่นอยู่ก็สำรวจความรู้สึกตัวเองต่อว่าเราคิดอะไรในใจอีกบ้าง ก็พบว่า ที่เราว่าเค้าเพราะเราคิดว่าเราดีกว่าเค้าเพราะขนาดเราไม่พิการเรายังไม่ขับรถจี้คนอื่นหรือขับรถเร็วแบบเค้าเลย อ้าว… ตกลงว่าที่เราตำหนิคนอื่นเพราะเราคิดว่าเราดีกว่าเค้าอย่างนั้นเองหน่ะหรือ

Hiking

January 5, 2017

In early October, I went on a hike in Yosemite with the fitbit group I belong to. In the middle of the hike, we walked uphill for a while then we had to walk downhill. I was gratefully for the break; however, after a couple of minutes, I realized that walking downhill now (easy) means that on the way back, we would have to walk uphill. Also walking uphill is…

Fear of Ghosts

December 29, 2016

In my basement at home, I have two light switches. One light switch turns on a single light that will provide adequate light for going down to the room in the basement. The other switch will turn on all the lights in the basement (big light). I noticed that Jason would turn on the big light when he goes down to the basement room. I asked him why he had…
