Wednesday


My alarm went off at 6AM. Usually I wake up before 6. I woke up in the night and was sleeping late. Shams didn't show up. I'm not sure how to broach that I feel kind of lost with our loosey goosey connecting. He did say he would meet me tomorrow morning. And he's had insomnia and slept 14 hours. And I'm happy for that! I go ahead and meditate when I want to and connect when I want to, but in my orderly mind, a fixed time would really be helpful. I'm going to have to let go of that. He does communicate, he said he can't make tonight, which is good, he's hoping to be asleep. 

Shams has been sending Jordan Peterson and Joe Rogan clips. I've had to explain to him why I dislike the fellows. He seems to think not hating people is the spiritual goal, and it does have its place on some level, but I'm not going to close my eyes to what's going on in the world, and hating Iran for killing 900 or Trump for killing people because of his mismanagement of Covid comes naturally to me, I do also try to hold these trains of thought lightly.
