I lost my hat today. I like my hat. Most material things aren't that important to me, but I like my hat. I make it a point to have some attachment to at least one or two material things. I fear that if I completely accept my mind and my soul for the perfection that they can be than I may achieve enlightenment. And i've got a lot of stuff to do so enlightenment would just screw up my whole schedule. Honestly, you never heard about Buddha getting a lot done. Enlightenment is like that some times. So, it's always safer, in my opinion to hang on to at least one physical article, lest you be whipped up into nirvana and all your bills are late. So it is I find myself without my hat. But I'm not to worried. I have a bandana.
