The thoughts of meditation. Random thoughts, directed. Of a father and a son. Do it better than me. The teacher. Sure it can be humiliating. There you are the teacher and some kid proves your methods to be at fault; provides a better solution. Loss of face? No, gratitude. We both moved forward and you taught me. My second son came to visit me here. Had quit university. Well i had before, so who am i to judge? Had left him and had no right to criticise. Did not. We went on holiday. He bonded with my son, yes the Thai one. Nothing was discussed of university. Then i did speak. "I went back, i quitted, but went back on my terms. Do the same,". He did. Now has a PHD. Doing it better.

Of uprooting. Being outside of it. Sometimes necessary to see. Many posts on here acknowledge that. My exchanges with rgs. Flip sides. I have not "gone native" as sure as he has not. Bleth, still on his search. Well we all are, the search never ends until we (i) do. To be an outsider, a true outsider, the alien. But knowing as an insider of that you left.. Rambling
