Or the shoulder brocades? : D
One sneaky feature of the flyer, I've noticed, is the compulsion of constant comparison to others on the path....or to others "not on the path", as the case may be in my limited perception. Particularly in the context of my perceived progress "on the path". Once lost in thought about "where I'm at" in comparison to "where others are at", I've been captured and diverted! Which is no big deal of course......but certainly a good time to recover pure, clear awareness....free of judgment.....free of classifying thoughts about what I think I'm seeing (such an ironic statement, that). "This is this" and "That is that"....as if attaching qualifiers conveys any understanding whatsoever. It doesn't. Its me pretending to understand in collaboration with the flyer. I do it....its done....its how we communicate....words But the truth, which is utterly beyond description, is buried deep within my presumed understanding....my conceit....with its parade of descriptors.
When I catch myself comparing like this...ramping up in self righteousness, I drop it like a rock...............
unless I don't : D
