| I added some things to a few of my old posts. A conversation got me investigating today how difficult it is for me to communicate with people who are living within the confinements of the mind. Even writing here, in my blog. I see that words are thoughts which are verbalized. Things come out and I write them on a whim most of the time, but I have no idea if they make sense. Many times I have the experience in this moment but there really are no words to convey this experience. Words are limiting. They are based on past and future. They are there to communicate yes, but I've been finding that they minimize the experience as well. They lack the depth and compassion and reality (real-ity, not re-ality) of this experience, right here and right now. I forgot to mention that I started my tai-chi and qi-gong classes. I am doing 1 class a week. This is to help with the kundalini energy flow. The homeopath I am seeing wants me to stop exercising for the time being, which includes both the yoga classes at work and strength training. She said no weight bearing activities. Anyways, I loved the tai-chi. I am feeling really tired lately, probably due to the lack of exercise and increase in food :-D I gotta keep away from the ice cream and m&m's. |
An online marketplace for selling and buying all things handmade!
It's like shopping at the artists market, but from your own home.
I discovered the website just in time for Christmas and along with my
trip to Blue Banana Market in Toronto, have managed to get almost everyone on
my list home made gifts.
Every morning, when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift!
We have the capacity to live in a way that these twenty-four hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness
to ourselves and others.
Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see.
The Question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We don't have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky.
We don't have to leave our city or even our neighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. Even the air we
breathe can be a source of joy.
We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness
that is available. We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years
for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive at the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.
Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. We need only to be awake, alive in
the present moment. ... Thich Nhat Hanh
