Our expectations are the things that let us down the most. If we are disappointed at an outcome, or in a person even, it is because we had certain expectations that they or it did not meet. That is on us entirely, not on said outcome or person. Try to remember this when feeling a sense of disappointment at anything and see how it feels. Does it make a difference? Will it change your mood or viewpoint? Should we therefore have no expectations upon anything and therefore never feel disappointed?
Absolutely beautiful this morning, sky is colouring nicely and I saw a line of birds along the electricity pylon. The darkness of the birds against the colour of the sky reminded me of the black keys on a piano. Not that the sky was that light but the contrast was so striking. Moving dark keys, a piano like the typewriter in Naked Lunch. There’s a light orangey pink coming in from the east just now and it will be strong in five or ten minutes. A good morning to go to the woods, which is exactly what I’m doing. Shame it’s not with the girls.
