Sweet baby, roll on
Roll on
Sweet baby, roll on
Keep on rolling
Sweet baby, roll on

Oh, and one more thing. Byron Katie has me thinking:
Much of our stress comes from mentally living out of our own business. When I think, "You need to get a job, I want you to be happy, you should be on time, you need to take better care of yourself," I am in your business. When I’m worried about earthquakes, floods, war or when I will die I am in God’s business. If I am mentally in your business or in God’s business, the effect is separation … and I realized that every time in my life that I had felt hurt or lonely, I had been in someone else’s business. If you are living your life and I am mentally living your life, who is here living mine? We’re both over there. Being mentally in your business keeps me from being present in my own. I am separate from myself, wondering why my life doesn’t work.

Mary and Natalie,
That’s why I found that passage interesting. Because of all the interpretations and “loose threads.” I guess I just have to read on and understand fully what she is talking about …
Smiles.
I think it depends on motive. If I am in someone’s business because of a need to control, to be in charge, however well-meaning, then no-one benefits.
If I am genuinely reaching out to help from the heart, from a place that recognises the other’s autonomy,rather than neediness, then I perhaps that is the only time that I can be of assistance? I don’t know. That’s a high ideal, and most of the time I for one don’t reach it.
BK’s text is partly true and partly not. When one is “in one’s own business” all the time (which dyed-in-wool egocentrics usually are) you lose track of reality, including of other people’s and the world in general’s reality. I understand and appreciate what she’s saying, but there are lot of loose threads in it.
Yeah, Paul! Roll on!
Patry, I know just what you mean, believe me!
I keep on rolling, because if I stop I may not roll again ! LOL
Hmm…seems like I’ve been in a lot of other people’s business the last couple of days. No wonder I’ve been feeling off-balance. Thanks for the great reminder.
