Tranquility

Silence is like a river of grace inviting us to leap unafraid into its beckoning depths. It is dark & mysterious in the waters of grace. Yet in the silent darkness we are given new eyes. Sometimes it is good to leap into the unknown; good to practice leaping.

Playing with Humor: When sobering events threaten to put you into a dour mood, don’t let your guard down; try to be funny (TF).

The most profound technologies are those that disappear. They weave themselves into the fabric of everyday life until they are indistinguishable from it.

Siesta

It does not matter what we expect from life, but rather what life expects from us. We are being questioned by life – daily & hourly. Take the responsibility to find the right answers to its problems and fulfill the tasks which it sets for each individual.

Viktor Frankl

Lift up your eyes upon the day breaking for you, give birth again to the dream. Each new hour holds new chances for new beginnings.

For human beings, motion is life. Our bodies are made to move. By exercising modestly on a regular basis, we can change the rate of our aging on a biochemical level. Regular exercise also improves mood, boosts energy levels, and builds self-confidence.

Repaving commences today!

Start your day at 4:00 AM. You’re up any way, why do you to need to stay in bed? Sit up and meditate. Say the word “thought” over and over again trying to visualize what it looks like. If that makes you sleepy, go back to bed.

Uphill

A man walks upright.

For him it is strenuous to climb a steep hill, because he has to keep pushing his own vertical mass upward and cannot gain any momentum.

The rabbit is better off. His forelegs support his horizontal body and the great back legs do the work. They are more than equal to thrusting uphill the light mass in front of them. Rabbits can go fast uphill. In fact, they have so much power behind that they find going downhill awkward, and sometimes, in flight down a steep place, they may actually go head over heels.

On the other hand, the man is five or six feet above the hillside and can see all round. To him the ground may be steep and rough but on the whole it is even, and he can pick his direction easily from the top of his moving, six-foot tower.
