Love your fate!

 The pandemic of covid-19 in Alberta is rocking everyday, today was 1500, yesterday 1300, the day before 1100. Where is the ceiling? But my wife is my light, we have a little conversation this morning. If the life (virus) want to take your life, you can't avoid but have to accept it. Shouldn't depend the master's super power to heal the disease, or reciting the mantra or buddha's name to get rid of it. That's the spirit of "Love your fate!"

Dante has rely on the heavenly Marie and Beatrice, with this super natural power, he can't be defeat in seeking the source. James Joyce follows him, in Ulysses at the beginning that milk women acted like Athena (from my teacher Joseph Campbell). I am such a stupid head, I disdained that milk women as poor with no hope.

Say 'Yes'

I have a little meditation this morning. My mind is contemplating what to focus of the meditation topic, not on "who  recite the buddha's name",  as by my master in cttb originally said you have to find a good question to contemplate a few years ago. As I go though divine comedy of Dante (mostly in inferno), James Joyce, and Joseph Campell. There's some words from Joe, "I have say no all my live...", then I have a little thought of that say 'yes'. After meditation, is breakfast time, toast and coffee. I've chance to open Ulysses, the last page and the last section, to read. That is the start of my day. And a good day. Yes.
