The ragged pieces of ideas and thoughts of my attempt to live a life as a contemporary monastic in the urban city of Singapore..

 

After listening to John Mayer's excellent Heavier Things album

If I was John Mayer, I would have to start getting to know myself again and that will take another lifetime. So since I'm already on my way I'll rather continue to be myself.

If you have yet to know yourself, start by saying "hello, how do you do?" and you'll on your way. Pity if you've died, you realised that you have tried to know so many people but you don't do a good job because you don't even know yourself. You can't know anybody without letting them know you and they can't know you if you don't even know yourself. Ah, we a bunch of pretenders ?

God loves us as we are and if we don't even know ourselves, we will not allow God to know the real us. We will just be pretending to live a life worthy of Him. Because we can't impress Him with what we do... we can only be ourselves and let Him love us just as we are.
