From the Buddha

I was just looking out the window and remembered a conversation I had with my friend Kevin, aka Buddha, a few weeks ago when I was in the midst of my rough teaching experience. I was asking him all sorts of questions (which I don't even remember now, but probably along the lines of 'Why me, why is this happening to me') hoping to get a concrete response from the wise one that I could use to make sense of it all. Rather, he gently said, 'Maybe those aren't the questions you should be asking.'

Interesting to reflect on when we get so caught up in our own stories, so caught up in trying to understand them. Maybe those aren't the questions that we should be asking.
