It's about time!

For a longest time, I've tried hard not to get involved in blogging. In my mind: who gives a crap about what I have to say?! I've also avoided reading any blogs, for the same reason, that there are way too many junks out there. But in this election time, I just can not help myself but reading blogs after blogs from the liberals to the conservatives. And here I am, sucked into this blogging jungle. I must admit, there are a lot of good writings out there! And all that reading has improved my reading skill and increased my vocabulary. I am hoping that writing blogs would enhanced my writing skill as well. But perhaps according to Sarah Palin, that one day, those newly acquired skills might make me an "elitist"! Then so be it!

As a yoga and buddhist practitioner, I am probably too passionate about politics. A friend once asked me why am I so opinionated about current events and issues and shouldn't I be meditating, keeping my mind calm, and seeing the sunshine all the time and be happy? Sure, if I smoke dope!

I am a yoga practitioner, not a mute! I care deeply the well being of EVERYTHING in this world, not just human beings. In the Heart Sutra translated by Thich Nhat Hanh, that we are all interconnected in some form or another. So it is very hard to watch what's going on in this country right now, and pretend it is somehow going to be alright. Half of this country is willing to vote for an old-man-gone-senile and Lady MacBeth as our president and vice president, I can feel the sufferings daunting upon us in all forms. Could I have kept my mind calm and my mouth shut? I don't think so.

So here I am in the blogging abyss, I should ponder on things high and low, sane and crazy, good and evil. If you find it in any way offensive to your liking, please don't take it personal. It's just a tigress's roar. That's all.
