thinking today how some days,  i actually look forward to sleeping.  Night.   And i wondered,  because sleeping and night mean dreaming.  Dreaming means actually MORE going on than in any day,  so much,  so much "work" really,  so much needing to be accomplished  in the dreams,  but  as i thought about it, i realize that in the dreams,  there really is never resolution.   Just the going.  There is never an Outcome.  And in the dreaming,  it's not an issue.   But how in the day world,  there so often is an expected Outcome,   or a hoped for Outcome.  

How about if i was really mindful of this?  What would That be like?  Intellectually,  i get it.  But what if i really become mindful?  With Everything…..?????
