Today
You know what? We each have a life we are living, that has its limits but we also are very lucky to have things in our lives that we can look forward to.
And we must make those things to look forward to:-)
I really liked what Bob said about creating the experience of our lives and in life as best we can - until maybe we have to realize that
it may or may not be good for us completely perfect anyway. A body in motion stays in motion - I don't why I feel so overwhelmed and tired
today - like I can't keep up - am I out of practice with the dynamic life in the secular world? OR am I just more in touch
with my truth? - maybe I do need more exercise on all levels - the precision of communication here - really saps me of
energy for extracurriculars like going to the gym and going out there to see doctors :).
I am thinking about how kids I have known with trustfunds who do not have to work - they definitely atrophy
in life's daily struggle. Though it may be good to keep your kid safe - it is also good to keep them exercised on
all levels of living - other wise I have seen what happens. I don't have a trustfund but the monastery is
so calm and safe it helps me see that perspective for sure. Keep on keeping on - work it work work it and
a body in motion stays in motion!! :)

eh.. I kicked my butt into gear and caught a second wind....keep on keeping on.
It’s weird, living at the monastery is like being married to an idea. I’ve been interpreting that blindly or incorrectly. Not reconciling that we’re each working for the better and care of all. It can get pretty exhausting if I don’t keep clear about that. I need to rest a lot. Always ‘on call’ , so each day presents the push and pull of doing for others and doing for myself. I really need to focus on Blue more.
But there’s something to living for someone else’s standard rather than my own, A whole hierarchy of females.
Instead of just one. It’s a lot.
