Managed Flux = Stability?

Ah yes, the Ides of March! First post for March and it's halfway over, mostly from a "retreat" of sorts which included a week of vacation from the job, a few doctor's appointments, and some time spent at the woo-woo store getting readings from the intuitive healer there. Working with several lessons at the moment, including learning to sit with the less than positive aspects of life (tedium, dissatisfaction, "stuckness"). This involves acknowledging the state of being for what it is and being patient with the inherent contradictions in life.

Currently applicable to work life, home life, spiritual "seeking" etc. The sitting is both figurative and literal as I have been putting my cushions (zafu and zabuton) to their proper use--not a regular occurrence but a little taste of that experience and hopefully becoming more of a routine practice.

Regarding the "ides"--I played the Soothsayer in my high school production of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar, so Beware!
