Fickle

People are fickle beings. I just have to smile watching how others respond to my antics or musings...As a Taoist Teacher I do an excellent job of being not what people expect of me...

It's enjoyable work from my view point...

Interesting thing from a business point of view: people sell expectations...

From a Taoist point of view I smash expectations...

As a result, business is a meandering and always changing affair for me.

If you want to write a best seller: you write in the mainstream expectation...in the mainstream flow. If you want to sell a self help service: again you sell something in the mainstream: like the law of attraction etc...

The mass market is interesting to watch. I only concentrate on working with individuals. It's an interesting thing to watch since in America where people pride themselves to be individuals, so many are just living in the trends, not really being an individual.

It's not something you can point out either : people take it personally: the act of expressing themselves uniquely in a trendy sort of way....

Just another contradiction of of life to embrace and smile upon.

and in mean time

earlier I was in the car watching humanity...

Busily in cars,
Stacking themselves on the freeway
as cord wood to be burnt
as their expression of life.

eventually that will become a poem, until then,

This is a reminder
It's always a choice
on how we express
the movement of our life.
