Yet again, Fear
A simplistic snippet of Buddhism will talk of possessions, and the price or burden that they carry. I've found something in my character, over the past few months, which i've come to enjoy. Now that I have - possibly own - this element, will the enevitable loss cause me pain? Had dinner with Vessella tonight at a fantastic North African place - Phenencia. The argument, which as ever, I found myself unable to counter, was simple. When you feel something within you, despite knowing that it was always there, and has only now come to your attention, is still a possession and a perception. Ashes to ashes; the flame that burns so bright can burn to expiry.
The stock exchange bulls up and bears down. The cycle is mandatory. Love the bull, but know that bear of humility will end the party.
The boys in LondonTown are a hailing me as a contractor of legendary timesheets. The daily rate scheme is being contorted to allow me to invoice for Eight Profesional Days this week. Buw-ha-ha-haaa. Greed is good. However, i've been eclipsed by the man who billed for 40 days in one Earth Month. I know baby, you'd dig it the most. But d'you know what the strangest thing about Contracting is? It's the little things - Example: The total detraction from reality, living every day as if it were your last. Breathing out when you leave the office thinking "i can't believe i got away with it. again". That said, I despise offices. They are a the very pinnacle of subdued passionless existence. Al quite poignantly interjected when I expressed a hint out of doubt over going travelling: "But Dan, you work all your life to have new experiences, so how can you possibly use the term 'lost earnings'? This is the raison d'etre" Cheers buddy, this was the sentence I needed.....
