Having also just spent an angst ridden afternoon for losing my car and office keys, I can also relate to your frenetic western culture notes. --As it turned out, there was no need to worry--one of my equally busy colleagues had simply pocketed my keys. --It was a few years ago that a doctor asked me when I had last had a holiday. I responded that I had taken a week off the previous summer and she snorted. Three weeks is barely enough, she said, to unwind. Allowing ourselves to be is not a normal Canadian pastime. Nor North American. I do understand that Europeans are a little more skilled. I have never been to India but I did go to listen to an tibetan buddhist nun who visited Edmonton a few years ago. Her travels had taken Tenzin Palma to India and other countries where people are materially, much less well endowed than North Americans are. She commented on the fact that North Americans, for all they have, seemed less content or happy than the people she had met from other countries who had so much less in that way. A message that I for one have not forgotten. Tenzin Palma had meditated in a cave for ten years and I had thought that she just might have something to share that I needed to hear. I wasn't disappointed. This blog comes at a good time for me...a message I need to hear.
