Long Ass Day

Today was a long ass day started bright and early before the sun came up, made my way into work and dealt with all the joy a Monday can offer.  Left work 11 hours later to work on a house I recently purchased, painted until my hand stopped working which is something thats been happening due to all the house work.  Made a 10 o’clock trip to shope rite for kitty litter and coffee.  Made it home in time to do dishes and change the litter in a particularly grumpy mood.  Beat down all to hell I went into my bedroom to see my adorable son snuggled up sleeping with my beautiful girlfriend, day didnt seem so lang after that.  Good night my friends hope you are having a good day even if its a long ass one.

Back To The Grind

So it’s been a full two weeks since I have gone to work by far the longest I have ever taken away from work.  It’s normally a big deal for me to take one day.  In the past two weeks my life has changed so much, the little man who lived in my girlfriend’s belly has come out and I love him even more now.  Our little family is learning and growing together everyday.  My heart has grown so much with our new addition, even during the trying times when I’m getting peed and pooped on or feeling completely helpless when I can’t stop the crying of my little man, I am still full of love even if the look on my face doesn’t say so.  It’s definitely a growing and learning experience that I am happy to go through especially with such and wonderful partner and mother to my son, I am in awe of the power and patience of this new mom.  Needless to say I am not looking forward to leaving the house in the morning but it is something I must do and I am grateful for the job I have.  Definitely a new reason to come home at the end of the day, not that I needed another.  It’s amazing the way life changes over very short periods of time hope all is well with you and your family.

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.

Snow Meditation

Well the snow is falling pretty good now here in my neck of the woods.  It’s a beautiful time of year the snow blanket saos sound and quiets everything down. It always a magical moment for me when I look up and see the slow motion snowflakes falling down around me. It tends to happen if im in the woods upstate or just running across the parking lot to throw out the trash.  I can also hear the screams of kids waiting to run outside and use thier new sleds and the couples who get to spend some much needed time at home with eachother. We can always complian about the problems it causes, the shovelling and travel problems but much like many things in life its no use fighting the snow so we might as well enjoy what it provides.

Snow angels for everyone

Different Vehicles Same Destination

We are all going to the same place, all trying to get to the ultimate happiness and this life or the afterlife. So why do we judge so harshly the way others are trying to get there?  We or at least I don’t know whats the best way for someone to get where they are trying to go I am just happy they are on the journey.  There are paths I have been down in my life that wouldn’t work on my journey right now but they did at the time. There are some paths that others are using that I once used or will one day use so why should I judge their vehicle or where they are on their journey.  On my best days I just try to move along on mine and when I see someone with a flat tire I try to help them change it but ifvthey don’t want my help I just keep trucking. I know there will be seemingly wrong turns on my journey but as long as I am moving foward I know even the wrong turns are part of the journey.

Peace

Keep peace at all cost, nothing is worth disturbing your peace.  If we practice a spritual way of life peace will flow through us.  Without peace we can not be of maximum benifit to anyone especially our selves.  The spiritual life is great to talk about and investigative but it is infinitely better when we are practicing what we are reading about. I spent many years just reading without much practicing and could talk a good game but it didn’tnhelp me or anyone else.  Once I started to practice and understand people and life I didn’t really need the big talk anymore.  One of my favorite mantras is peace, understanding, love and compassion.  This mantra transformed my way of thinking it allowed me to remember peace was my true nature and when I had a proper understanding of anything people included I could handle them with love and compassion.  When I truly understand people and situations judgement slips away and I have peace.  Life for me is about serving others while having peace and love in my heart its not always easy and I don’t always succeed but its always worth it when I do.  This doesn’t always come natural to me so I have reminders all over and I try.  I also always try to remember when I am faiking I am still learning and being guided by grace. Doing the dishes was always something I hated then when reading some Thich Nhat Hanh he spoke about doing dishes as a meditation and I tried this practice.  Doing dishes is now something that is part of my practice and keeps me in the moment.  I have used this technique for a bunch of things I never liked and it now helps me maintain my peace.  What do you do that brings you back to your antural state of peace?
