Written and Performed by Damien and the 63 Lipless Fish c.1991 I sing lead and play lead guitar. I hope you enjoy and follow me. I still make and post music.
Underneath These Lights
The next time you reach for Ibuprofen for your mild headache remember this aphorism:
Wait a while and think of the less fortunate before taking Ibuprofen when you have a mild headache. In waiting, you foster the path of enlightenment through the practice of compassion.
Mild pain should be tolerated for a time as it gives us 3D empathy and compassion for those on the planet who live in pain 24/7.
Empathy and compassion for ourselves, furthermore, should precede compassion for others because we need more self-love that nurtures compassion for all beings on the path to Buddhist enlightenment. What’s all this in an even shorter aphorism?
I’m fine, I’ll wait.
Enjoy your day.
Namaste,
Damien
