your light will shine when all else fades

On medical leave for 2 days gave me time to reflect and think about my life and most importantly rest my body and mind. Looking back at the past months when i had my daily schedule packed like crazy, i stop and wonder what have i done? Work/family/friends/school. repeat work/family/friends and school. ha ha. what a joke isn't it. i used to laugh at people around me who have this same routine everyday but am i becoming on of them i wondered. Then i chance upon a note that i took down during one of Lama's teachings. "What makes a Dharma practioner different from a normal person?" Dhara practioners incorporate Dharma in their lives. We do not need to allocate time to practice Dharma because when we have Dharma in our heart, everything we do are on the basis of helping others and there you are, you are practising Dharma!
I reflected and looked into myself. Have i incorporated Dharma into my life?
The answer is Yes and No.
Yes is that i have the awareness that everything i do each day is on the basis of kindness and compassion and to benefit and not harm sentient beings.
No is that why do i need to be aware of this awareness before doing each thing. If my mind and heart was stronger and had more practise, this awareness will also be incorporated in my mind/heart and need not be reminded to myself.
haha whole crap of nonsense but been some time since i last wrote nonsense on the walls of the corners of my heart.
Ciao to all ya!
