It's a miracle. A party, called out of thin air through the force of sheer will and phone calls. But the phone calls were just expressions of the will, which is just an expression of...

Let go of your other commitments. Can they not wait? What, in this moment, is more important than your personal fulfillment and happiness?

If your commitments are to things that fill you and bring you joy, then go and do them. But if they are not things that bring you happiness, why do them at al?

The connection might not be direct--I need to have a house to throw parties for my friends, and to have a house I need to pay rent, so then at some time I must work to make money to pay rent.

But if I don't need a house, I don't need to pay rent, I don't need to work.

Even though work is not partying, working *is* partying, because without the work there is no party. But I don't need the parties. I choose to throw them because it brings joy to my friends. I work to bring happiness and fulfillment to others in my life, which is all that brings me fulfillment and happiness.

So what are you doing tonight? Does it bring you and those around you joy? Is your work a party? Or is it just work?

Mine is both.
