Dear [Redacted],
It’s 11/11/25 today. Another round around…
The future is now!
I don’t really know what to write because the future seems so distant, so unreal, and yet at the same time it is right here, arriving moment by moment. I am already you, you already me. Yet neither of us exist at all, too. Who am I? Where are we going? What will we do next?
I’m sitting in my office at work, just finished a brief meeting with a client, about to sit and read for a while before my last client of the evening. I’m stressed about finances and the state of the earth. I’m hopeful for love, peace, and joy to soak into everything I do, everywhere I go. I’m (very slowly) developing a better self-care routine including yoga and meditation. I’ve learned ~30 lines of the Hanuman Chalisa. I’ve been with my love for over three years now. There are times each day I know that nothing could be otherwise, everything perfect, nothing out of place; and other times when I know it is completely unstable, perfectly imperfect, falling apart and coming together more quickly and more subtly than I can imagine.
A piece of advice: comparison is the thief of joy, expectation is the host of disappointment. Just be here now. Breathing in, I am arriving. Breathing out, I am going.
I hope you’ve figured out the whole money thing but I honestly doubt it, we’re probably going to handle that into the grave. It’s not my money, it’s God’s money.
I hope you’re cozy in your own apartment with your beloved and a cup of tea.
I hope you’re further along on your journey and have a beautiful and wild style that captures the hearts of every passerby. May you grow ever luminous and less attached to ego and pride. May your confidence flower into wholesome passions and nurturing joy.
By the time you read this, I hope you have a consistent work-life balance. I hope you keep up with your yoga and meditation and achieve enlightenment right now 😉
I hope you have wise friends and good company around you that can offer you the very same support and guidance as the Buddha’s sangha.
I hope you don’t worry about being alone anymore.
I love you, Me. I know it’s easier to dissociate when you self-love but just be here and look around and see the grace of the universe unfolding. Begin again.
Take care,
ॐ
May you attain happiness and the causes of happiness. May you attain freedom from suffering and the causes of liberation. May you be healthy, content, and at ease.
SitaRam
