hey all, I spent yesterday at the doctor's office for a physical.While i was waiting I tried to slow my breathing and contemplate on our recent dicussion about how the Force contains both light and dark sides and I was quite amazed at how easily it came with all the hustle and bustle that was around me. I use a cane that i black with a black plastic handle that is molded to fit my hand. As I was meditating I couldn't help but notice how the Light was reflecting off the handle of my cane and for that one moment it was clear to me that if I took either the Light or the black(dark) away from the cane I would not have the fullness of the cane...and suddenly I undersstood the same about the Force...I continued my meditation for a few moments then I picked up the book I brought with me "Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman and was reading when I came across another insight..."The Real Voyage of Discovery Consists not in Seeking New Landscapes,but in having New Eyes"....a quote from Marcel Proust that was used in the book. I found this quote to be interesting because it seems like since I began the Jedi Path more and more I see things in a new way...any comments are always appreciated
