Impermanence
Friend works with Liberal Party, they just underwent a cabinet shuffle. She was wondering whether she'd have a job at the end of it. They just switched portfolios.
Parents - they're aging is very apparent.
Other friends - moving, having babies, breaking up relationships. All at once. The Buddha never seemed to account for why a lot of change happens in clusters. I'm curious.
Loving Compassion
Saved a baby bird the other day. All I needed was to borrow a ladder so I could stick it back in its nest. I was very surprised by how reluctant people were to help. Some were even nasty to me when a simple, "Sorry, I can't" would have sufficed. But I found someone to lend me a ladder, so it's all good.
Trying friends. Somehow I have amassed a few friends who annoy me. I do my best to just be understanding and tolerant. Then again, I have to be compassionate to my own need for sanity. So I don't spend as much time with them as I used to.
