Whales

This beautiful humpback whale was nice enough to put on a great show for the girlfriend and I today while we were whale watching.  It was great to see these beautiful creatures who are so massive move through the water with such grace. First time I have been whale watching since I was a kid and I was so glad we went, it was cool when I was a kid but had a much greater impact now.  Grateful to the people who dedicate their lives to protect these animals.

Bikes for Peace

Today I went for a bike ride as I often do as of late.  There is something truly peaceful about zipping around on a bike it’s always a spiritual experience for me.  When I’m rolling along on my hybrid bike my mind begins to wander and think of everyone living and working together and where I fit in the puzzle or if any of us fit at all.  Today I was riding my mountain bike(I’m bike rich due to the generosity of my brother) and it’s a completely different experience for me.  When I’m flying through the woods my mind does not have time to wonder I’m focusing on not crashing lol.  It keeps me focused like meditation does and everything falls away.  They both bring a sense of peace just in different ways.  I was glad I had that sense of peace when my bike went flying off a 6 food drop today and luckily I flipped off missing the drop.  It was a nice little roll  and I didn’t get hurt which is nice for me.  Today was a beautiful day all and all got to ride a bike, feed some ducks, say my prayers next to a river, do some studying and get some other stuff done.  Hope your day went well.

Always A Spiritual Angle

Today was a day not great not, horrible but I could definitely use a pick up.  As soon as I walked in the door instead of falling into the sofa trap right away I started on some yoga, ran thorugh the postures and breathing till I felt much much better.  It was just what I needed just the right angle for today but its not always sometimes my back is killing me and im unable to use that angle.  On those days I got right to meditation but some days with my head all twisted that is not an option but some spritual reading is or sometimes its a funny movie or helping someone else.  The point is there is always an angle to get that spritual door open a bit butnonce its cracked the other practices seem to come easier and easier. What angle worked for you today?
