17. Wherever you go

There you are. AA calls it the geographical cure. My mom had a note on her bathroom mirror that said 'you are looking at the problem'. I try to take full responsibility for my demands and expectations, by eliminating them as best I can.

May we be free of expectation and desire. It leads to disappointment. I looked for friends amongst the feminism, gay and and I/P groups and got hated out of all of them.

I send them much love and light, since my ability to pray as an atheist was mocked and ridiculed. Eff my ignorant ego. I have no pride. I just don't see myself as a bigot.
