I am starting with my last memory and that is being in the Amsterdam Airport making our final leg (why the word leg and how does that fit, funny thought) of the journey home. I am hearing this continual broard cast overhead. It is a sweet and calm voice. I am starting to hear the words in reference to the dhamra. The first repeated sentence is "mind your step". This occurs in my mind like a mantra. I have often heard Rinpoche refer to careful practice and in this world of inner and outer reality's I am reminded of this in the continual repeated phase..........mind your step. The next repeated phase I would hear over head is first they would start by saying someone name so I will use my name: "Tsering you our delaying the Flight. We will preceded to off load your luggage." The delaying the flight, the flight to our true nature. Then the off loading of your luggage that I am remined of obsurations that we our invited to disolve in our journey to presents. So..............mind your step and start off loading your luggage and begin your flight home.

I remember those two phrases very well too Tsering...in fact I remember repeating them over and over to other members of our group (what can I say...it was late, or early...or whatever)...but I interpreted the second phrase differently.
In a teaching Rinpoche gave not too long ago: Making a High Energy Transformation...she made a comment..."all of you need to get on the bus at the same time" and in saying all, she meant, all levels of your being need to be ready to get on the bus to the next stage of your development.
So I made a connection between the outer one delaying the trip...I don't know why...maybe he or she was out getting a salad or distracted at the internet cafe. The other passengers of the flight (or levels of your being) are waiting for you...
And the luggage was everything else needed for the trip...the inner senses, the qualities developed, the inner structure, etc.
Moral of the story (err analogy), get with the program so you don't delay the transformation of your being any longer :)
