DiceLife Korea



Well, hello boys and girls.
Today, we are going to take a virtual dice trip.
I have written down six topics and/or instructions on my hotel stationary with the logo Army Lodging at the top.
I don’t think it means I’m in a barracks.
If so, it’s my kind of army.

I just realized that my brain is pretty much always on it’s own dice trip and that what I call “consciousness” is those moments when I realize that I can actually pick up the die and throw it again if I don’t like the direction I’m heading.

I can also change the options.

I can also choose not to roll at all.

That the die, no matter what, isn’t controlling any of this without my cooperation.

That when I get into the space of trusting this process I feel relieved and curious, rather than worried and anxious.

This is meditation with a sense of humor.

Here are the options for today that I’m just now making up: (note: above I said that I had already made them up. That was a lie, in the sense that I wasn’t telling you the truth. It was, however, what led me to realize that I actually wanted to see where this line of thought would go. Thus the following list):
  1. Eat breakfast and then roll again.
  2. Go read my book and forget about this.
  3. Share a secret, i.e. something that I really haven’t ever told.
  4. Call someone on Skype out of the blue.
  5. Go Walk for an Hour and then see if I want to continue to roll.
  6. Go buy those sneakers I’ve had my eye on.
 So, now I will go get the die which I always carry with me.

Ooops! My colleague MFLC just called about our pay being screwed up.
Turns out she is the die of the moment and life IS a dice trip anyway.
And I choose to honor my dedicated commitment to getting paid!

Back later, die willing.
