"I want you to climb me"
Seventeen floors above the city streets, I find myself sitting in my self diagnosed isolation. It has hit me like a bitter wind in the face, that not only do I look forward to leaving this city, but that I find my very oxygen is change.
Don't get me wrong, I am ok with being here now. I think I have got myself a great job that will allow me to live the life that seems to be layed outr for me.
But I know that there is more.
I always seem to be chasing more, and I always look for that more in the wrong places.
Dependent origination. Existence in terms of cause and effect.
There are twelve links to this, forming a circle. The starting point is ignorance which leads to the following in turn: volition, consciousness, mental and physical existence, sense organs, sense impressions, feeling, craving, clinging, process of existence, rebirth, decay and death. To destroy craving, therefore, is to break the circle.
