Well, here goes for another try.
Now I am movedto the Serendipity Beach in Sihanoukville and it is quite a bit different from Victory Hill. For starters, I have an almost flat right on the beach so I can hear the sound of the surf and try to bring it into my meditation. I have been reading The Open Road, Pico Ayer's latest book on the Dalai Lama and guess what?, I have discovered that I most probably am a Tibetan Buddhist. I, myself, would have no difficulty keeping to the rules of the Dalai Lama; and, as a Teacher, I still think he is very good. For example, I am kind of an anxiety prone personnality, so this great and huge debale on Wall Street would have made me into a basket case, especially if I had stayed in Whiskey Creek. But, no, with the help of a spiritual mentor, I have been able to be quite composed and anxiety free. I do experience a certain kind of "centeredness"and this does seem to give some kind of stability and confidence to these traumatic days. Because, this is the very first time in my 66 year life that I have been free of financial trauma and turmoil, I am hoping that my financial security will continue. My own pension is not too small and not too big at the same time, but alot less than most of my friends are getting. Because of this, I feel more secure knowing that I only enough to have this life that I am having today and no more.
About the election, I am certainly for Obama/Biden. He, Obama, has never said a thing about what I asked in my letter to him about Hillary. He could not bring himself to let her be his VP, so he must have some bigger and better job in mind in his Administration. If I knew this for sure, I would vote for him.
