Hiking In Colorado - August 2017

Meditation is not a matter of trying to stop thinking or make your mind go blank but rather to realize when your attention is wandering and to simply let go of the thoughts and begin again. It is a way of changing our relationship to our thoughts, so we’re not so consumed by them, with no sense of space. Having a newly spacious relationship to our thoughts brings both peace and freedom.

I feel like I’m always holding back when it comes to self expression in any form because I feel like the circumstances always need to be perfect. Is the blog audience appropriate enough, do you know what you are talking about enough, do people want to listen enough, are you really that exciting enough? Enough with the enoughs, at the end of the day I don’t even really care about these things. At the end of the day the majority of the joy in this will be in the writing and creating, and in the years later looking it over and laughing. It really isn’t about those other things. Say people do end up liking what I have posted? Well ya know we can cross that bridge when we get there sort of thing. Hiking, social working; it may not be everybody’s thing but they’re my things and that’s entirely okay. Another enough question that did just float by is: “is this private enough?”. Well that enough needs to be considered.
