Naturally Calm

Today, Im clearing out my filing cabinet.. its amazing how hard it is to let go of the past

However I found this and before the recycle bin claimed it I wanted to share it.. life is short... LAUGH.....it made me remember to take myself less seriously as I let go..

" one day a young student at the Buddhist monastery goes to meditate with two monks as part of his education, they go to the opposite side of the lake from the monastery and are about to start their morning meditation.. one monk says " oh no, I forgot my mat," so walks calmly across the surface of the water to the monastery and returns with his mat. Suddenly the other monk says" oh no, ive forgotten my sun hat" so he runs across the surface of the water to the monastery and returns with a straw hat.
the student is astounded by this and at the end of the meditation he tries to walk across the water. he falls straight in and emerges soaking wet, the two monks look on and after watching his failed attempts for awhile the first monk says to the second monk
" do you think we should tell him where the stones are? "!
no matter what you're doing today.. take a small moment to LAUGH..
