The next good thing...

"The way you support yourself can be an expression of your deepest self, or it can be a source of suffering for you and others. ... Our vocation can nourish our understanding and compassion, or erode them. We should be awake to the consequences, far and near, of the way we earn our living."

--Thich Nat Hanh

As Tree and I both move on to "the next good thing" as we have become fond of calling whatever comes next, the above quote comes to mind. I think I am in a state of repair, realizing just how much my roots had been gnawed at in the past 12 months or so. It certainly is a case for Karma and so I suppose I deserve whatever I get.

OK. So what about "the next good thing"? When will it begin to manifest? What form or shape will it take?

These are all good questions. I have no answers yet but another philosophical tenet comes to mind when contemplating the future. Many have said this in slightly different ways but the meaning is the same. Here it is...

 "A man is but the product of his thoughts. What he thinks, he becomes." — Mahatma Gandhi

I need to exercise patience and diligence. Keeping good, positive thoughts and continuing to walk in love, kindness, and peace. It is only then that I can find and move on to “the next good thing”.

Namaste...
