books are only tools they will never do the work for you otherwise I would be even more lazy than I am now but seeing the person walking by in the background has inspired me to take a walk
thanks

Dear Sensei,

I’ve been reflecting on this pair of videos for the past couple of days and your thoughtful, pensive articulation. Thank you.

What most affected me was when you said, “Just passing through”. Inadvertently, this became my mantra the past 48 hours. In certain moments, through my day and night, I found myself saying it, “just passing through”.

Thanks for guiding me toward a deeper perspective. Somewhere along the way, I had a huge insight about interdependence, community and our inherent, mutual desire to THRIVE.

I also noticed the man going for a lovely walk and “just passing through”.
This was a wonderful visual metaphor, which happened like a wonderful surprise. I love it when synchronicity is exposed.

All the best,
Peedee
