Living Within Samsara

Detachment. Those close to Buddhist Philosophy understand that detachment is the secret to happiness and serenity. It is not a concept for the faint of heart because it means detachment of all things, people, concepts, ideas. Even this article. How can this be? Because, my friend, you are a wave and tomorrow it may no longer apply.

You don’t know but you’re hoping for the best. You don’t want a test because you couldn’t bear the wait. Thinking you probably don’t have it, but not really knowing so why not continue on with unsafe sex. Or with denial. I’ve been there. I lived. And you will too.

There’s a reason I don’t deal in Western Medicine unless I am of strong feeling I’m dying. 103.6* fevers for days but no otherwise manifested symptoms, this would be one such time.

Last Thursday, with a fever higher than usual I went to work and survived two hours. I drove home knowing I was going to pass out, throw up or get dizzy and crash. When I got home my fever was 102.8* and I went to bed. I thought it was my EBV. I was wrong as later posts would reveal.
