Is life really that important that we have to rush throught it and not stop to smell the exhaust. Speaking of which, there is too much exhaust in this world. Will the next world be a happy place where there is no pollution and everybody has food and a place to live? I don’t think so because the dirtiness of this world will have gone with death into the next world and infected it. Some times I like to go down to the canal, climb into it, and sit on one of the many ledges there are and just think. I usually do this when I am really troubled. I did that once with a girlfriend of mine. I didn’t take her to it. See the problem was that she was starting to annoy me and she would even accuse me of cheating on her. I needed time to myself because wherever I went she would be there in one form or another. People would talk about her or ask me about her, she might call me where I was or even follow me there. I needed time alone.So I went to the canal. While I was there meditating I noticed that in a way the canal had it’s own ecosystem. It had water, earth, plants, animals, and air. It was very complex in it’s simplicity. Strange and compelling. I was there for maybe about an hour and decided that although it would break her heart it would still be the best thing. I had to break up with her.
