Buddha computa

It's quiet now.  Solitude; it's sweet. Freedom from disturbance is like nector to my mind and soul. 
 Can you believe I found solitude in a starbucks cafe in Safeway??!! Starbucks is closed of course; they close at 9:00 p.m. It's 11:02 P.M. and there's only about three customers roaming the safeway isles. They'll be closing the store at 12:00 a.m., and the costumers better make up their minds before the stroke of midnight because the cute    tomboyish cashier will get on the load speaker around 11:30 p.m., and than around 15 min to 12 . Her warning, I mean announcment usually consists of “Safeway will be closing in 30 mins , please bring your items to the cashier and we'll be happy to help you, have a good night” the last two words are always revealing, she always says it with disdain or disgust in her voice which translates to me as “Hurry up and make up your minds, or get your asses out of the store, because I'm tired and wanna go home”.  I'm probably the only one that notices the meaning in her tone, because I've spoken with her many times in the past.  Jeezz ! I better hurry up myself and finish writing, otherwise I'll get that cute impatient stare .  Okay now, calm your mind , you want your writing to be somewhat coherent.
 Just relax, type some random thoughts on your lapTop.  It's like a meditative exercise in mindfulness practice.
Hush little thoughts going through my mind; hush; shhhh!  “Jezz I have that student
loan to pay”  HUSH !   Shhh ,  shhh .   ” my boss is stupid”  Hush !  shhhh!  just type,
just type,  type, tap , tap , tap , tap , tap , tap , tap ?  ahh, peace, calm…………..enlightenment? 
 Not quite !
What ? where did that come from ?
Me !
 you ?
Me !
Me who !!??  who's me ?????
I'm a Buddha !
No way !  where are you! I can't see you! Are you a voice in my head????
I'm your computer !
What !!!!
Don't you remember what you read, a buddha can manifest as anything in order to
help a sentient being in need.
I didn't call you for help!
Yes you did!
When ?
In your recent past life !
What ! and your just answering me now ?
Yes !!!  I couldn't get through to you then,, to many obscurations.
What kind of help did I ask you for?..                                 
You wished for peace of mind so you could finish making your boat without mistakes, otherwise you'd sink in the middle of your journey across the water. 
Where was I going?
You were trying to get to another island to find food to eat.
Did I make it?  
No, you drowned and your family died of starvation.
I came to tell you that when you drive home tonight don't be in a hurry, a matter of fact, stop writing and buy what ever grocerys you need now . Don't wait till the last minute and than shop in a hurry , be in the present moment, relax , put on your seat belt and drive mindfully.
Now, turn me off!
ok….   

Re: Buddha computa

Peter this was a joy to read- light but not light.  I liked the simplicity of the i characters voice in its perceptiveness and willingness to see and be seen.  The writing has a nice energy, especially after the shift to The Buddha's voice and its clear, direct presence.  I appreciate the way the simple reflection became something deeper exploring past transgressions and experiences, their impact and yhe message that it presented in such a short resolution.  The writing is very readable and allows me to feel it on my own in my own way.  The message nor tone are 'teachy' or 'preachy', just laying it out there for us to digest on our own.  Thi is a gift in writing that i aspire towards.  Thanks fro sharing this with us!

Peace,
