creating some organization to my day
I'll be staying up late tonight. I'm going over to my parents' house at 5pm for dinner.
I'll probably get home by 730 or 8p as we're due to dine at 6pm.
Things are good. I am so realizing the we each need to choose
a way to organize our lives. Whether it's experiencing the comradery
of juggernaut of responsibility at work. Doing good work and then after work
taking care of your life as you would like to have it. I can see so much
how religion and church can be a kind of social HR (human resources.)
But seriously if you're challenged in the moment, there's no reason why
you should mentally go big picture, I mean you can but also know that
the smaller view of here and now and taking the basics steps of giving yourself
what you need and want is important and focus giving and soothing.
Sometimes I would like to have a great sense of organization to life
but I think with health- a kind of personal mission is found. Whether it's a personal
mission statement or a calling of doing 'good work' or focusing on making a spectacular
venture down any kind of profession.
I'm just trying to calm myself down right now and writing here is helping.
Don't feel particularly eloquent at the moment - but I'm ok with that.
Peace and good wishes.

with no particular reason why, an oft favored meditation i enjoy is, "you can't see the forest for the trees." i enjoy this meditation while walking among the trees and while sitting on a cliff, overlooking great forests where you can't see the trees for the forest. wandering among the trees where i can't see the forest leads me to appreciating the weave of details which keep nature going. the majesty of the view from the cliff help me appreciate that i like to mentally run to the big picture to save myself the backache of raking all those leaves and picking up all that animal shit.
why is it that when i feel my least eloquent, i am typically at my most verbose?
'tis better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
Thanks Arfie!!
