So how does this relate to buffalos? It doesn't really, other that it was one of my "secret obsessions" to visit the buffalo paddy in Golden Gate Park ever since I learned of its existence. You may be saying to yourself, "what a strange thing to desire"...but I think it has something to do with the bizzareness that there is a random gathering of buffalos in the middle of San Francisco's nowhere. Not at a zoo, or a safari, or even around other animals. No, they are just alone in the middle of our huge park. Can they really be happy to have us leering at them all day? With all the people that visit, they must think we're obsessed! I know they were happy at least the day I was there, because one of them fell in love with me. He (or she) came close enough to the fence to give me a deep stare and the rest is history. Well not really, but that brings me back to my main point which is the power of the mind.
It seems clear to me, either from watching these "obession" tales, or from dealing with my own ups and downs, that the mind is both completely vulnerable and passionately stubborn at all times. What we spend our time obsessing over, for some can become a frightening, maybe crippling reality and for others can become the motivation that drives them towards profound success. I hope to examine that balance and report my musings, so stay tuned...I may just get you hooked. ;)
