Went to Charity Focus for meditation. The story was on the eagle and the crow:
The crows often attack them, diving at the eagles from above. But, instead of doing all kinds of acrobatics, the eagle simply retracts one wing at the last moment, lets the diving crow pass, and then extends its wing again. The whole thing requires minimal effort and causes little disturbance.
I decided I need to be smooth like the eagle. I get stuck in struggles, especially when they're not even mine to be involved with. I just get pulled in like the mosh pit or something. Terrible! Gotta just be smooth.
After the meditation and a delicious dinner, I helped out with Wisdom Tips. In Karma Kitchen,the pay it forward gift economy Sunday Lunch in Berkeley instead of tipping the wait staff, eat dinner gets tipped by the wait staff with a wisdom scroll and a dollar book marker. Pretty cool, huh, guests gets tipped and the meal is free too. You walk out with a grateful heart and a yummy full belly, eating as much as you like and pocketed with a tip and wisdom for your mind. Totally cool!
