There is a saying that everything happens at exactly the right time. Good luck with your residency on this side of the world, NZ's a great country to live in, but I don't need to tell you that :) Fantastic comment on the post. Thank you very much for this addition. All the best. May all beings be peaceful. Gassho, Wade Hi Brain,

I needed it right about now. I have been in the process of getting a job (in an apple orchard, believe it or not). I have been sweating it because it is a part of my getting residency status in New Zealand. I have what it takes to be successful, but there are a number of holes to fall into. Several months before all of this I was very much at peace and mindful. When this process started I was able to hold it together, but then I gradually began to slip into attachment and found myself absolutely miserable. Last night I was able to let go and your post, which I read today, is a very big confirmation. Thank you to you and Bill. My comment to your post would be: You cannot know where you are going,if you do not know where you Are. Of course once you realize "where you are" you will see that "going anywhere" is meaningless. Take Care Brian Hi Wade,

Of course once you realize “where you are” you will see that “going anywhere” is meaningless.
