Seeking refuge from the desire to smack people

My day today was disgruntling at best, and I'm in a bit of a funk, mostly due to frustrations and challenges from a few people. So I'm looking for something calming to help ease my nerves before I head out of the office, and I came across this from the Hindu Upanishads:

As rivers flow into the sea and in so doing lose name and form, even so the wise one freed from name and form attains the Supreme Being, the self-luminous, the Infinite.

I guess that could be taken a couple ways, but for me this afternoon, it's helping ground me in some humility - that there's something larger than the headaches and frustrations of this day.

At any rate, it gave me space to pause, which is all I was asking for. It also helps that a song from the Broadway show "Avenue Q" just came on my Sirius radio, The Internet is Made for Porn. That is one hysterical song...reading the lyrics will make you laugh, but just reading them doesn't do them justice. Totally check out the song if you find it in a music store or online someday.

  • Have you seen Avenue Q yet? I hear it's so good!
