Thinking about what the Dalai Lama said (2)

Sure enough, literally just a night or two after I saw this post, a mosquito woke me up from the dead of sleep. The air was cool, so I opened the window, before I retired. It clearly buzzed right into my bedroom. I swatted at the air, with increasing annoyance and force, as the tiny creature seemed intent to keep me awake. I tucked my head under the covers, and kept it so, until I couldn't stand having my head covered. Was I scot-free of my nemesis? No, as it buzzed around my head after a couple of minutes. I finally got out of bed, and did this and that, for about an hour. Then, I was finally able to return to sleep.

Wise words indeed, from the Dalai Lama (sigh).
