I watch friends and acquaintances in the multitude of roles they play. I see shopkeepers living on Eureka-time in a laid-back tourist town. Then there are professions which could be taken as stressful, and it's interesting to note which are so and which aren't. You've probably already thought of the myriad of "types" of people you know. In reflecting on this, it seems it doesn't matter whether they are in a profession which handles what we think of as life-or-death situations, or whether they check groceries, make music, create art, live a philanthropic life, or do anything they please on a regular basis. No matter how they spend their time, some are uptight and some are calm and cool. It's simply a matter of how they choose to respond to events around them. Some of these people are pure light, reflecting Love in their every action. Some of them really want to be happy, and often pretend they are so, but deep in their eyes (and obvious in their actions) fear, guilt, lack are seen. Then there are those who dash about from one activity to another, rushed and hurried, running from something that perhaps isn't recognized even by them. I translate these actions as varying degrees of remembrance. Some don't know there's anything to remember, and when they get hints, it frightens them and they retreat into well-known beliefs and actions. Almost everyone I know has caught a glimpse of Truth and are eager to remember more. Once we touch this Oneness, we want to feel it all the time. There's nothing else quite like it!
