Catrien Ross on Blasting Mount Fuji to Bits – Does Live-Fire Artillery Count As a Spiritual Distraction?
Dear Reader-Friends:
As I write this blog post, live-fire artillery is blasting Mount Fuji to bits.
Rocket bursts explode the calm of this early March morning.
Even at more than 30 kilometers distance, the earth here shudders.
Windows in my mountain minka rattle.
Blasts reverberate through its ancient beams.
The eyes of my dogs and cats reflect alarm, but they no longer express terror as they once did.

I naturally learned this while fuming one day about a personal situation in Japan.

Judgments you impose upon yourself can generate guilt that blights years of your life.
The negative verdicts of your inner judge destroy your self-confidence, diminish your self-esteem, cripple your choices, and quash your creative expression.
Catrien Ross on How Judging Your Day Creates Your Experience – Tao Insights From Mount Fuji
Looking over Lake Kawaguchi towards Mount Fuji I recall the ancient Tao insight on how to experience life:
Only when you stop liking and disliking
Will all be clearly understood.
When I suspend judgement of good versus bad in whatever happens to me or around me, suddenly I perceive the world through fresh eyes.
Which is much easier said than done.
How many judgements have you made today since you got up?
