I am awake, and I have chosen the joy and peace of a balanced life – neither too tightly wound, nor too loosely entwined around this mortal coil.
An example of joy is what I find in nature. I can't say, enough, how tasty fresh pea pods are from your own soil. We should take time to grow our own food and live our own adventures – even if we pluck the peas from a single vine or reap the sweat from a modest romp in the nearby woods, with no vistas of exotic lands. The rich and sustaining savor of both will remind us of the newness of all things, including our own gentle spirits.
Yesterday, I was in court where the prosecutor was explaining how she was happy that the sound system was delaying our proceedings because it would give her an excuse to skip her workout that evening. Let me promise that if you consistently go to the gym, focus on the results and not the pain, you will arrive at a place where you would never want to escape the personal adventure that a daily workout brings.
