New Post

So it has been about 10 weeks since I posted here. Why is that?
Well, in the last two years there has been various phases - ups and downs, spiritual highs and lows, philosophical clarity and opaqueness (aahh, nice description!). Of course I've thought about being sick on a daily basis, so what is it? You know, I have not done any meditation in about six or seven weeks and I think that is the reason. Meditation gives you clarity. It gives you focus. It provides you with spiritual presence and growth. And what is so telling is that I have felt that there has been something missing. This is not to say I have been unhappy (I haven't). But I feel there has been a gap.

Now I am not a religious guy (in fact quite the opposite) but I am conscious of the 'Man cannot live on bread alone' quote. I've been busy at work, but conscious of reality. I look after my family, and done my best and been consistent in support (and homework and violin and football and after-school pickups and all that reality.... ) , and I choose to do this. I've even let my hair down and had a few more beers once in a while. So. it sounds like business as usual. And isn't that what life is?

All that said, I do need to get back to looking inside. That is what will keep me healthy. Simple as that.
