Present

Self-reflection

 Friday, July 30th, 2021 self-reflection 26 miles meditative jog” Self-transformation commences with a period of self-questioning. Questions lead to more questions, bewilderment leads to discoveries, and growing personal awareness leads to transformation in how a person lives. Purposeful modification of the self only commences with revising our mind’s internal functions. Revamped internal functions eventually alter how we view our external environment.”

Meditation

Wednesday, July 28th, 2021 27 miles meditative jog” One thing: you have to walk, and create the way by your walking; you will not find a ready-made path. It is not so cheap, to reach the ultimate realization of truth. You will have to create the path by walking yourself; the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you. It is just like the sky: the birds fly, but they don't leave any footprints. You cannot follow them; there are no footprints left behind.”
Osho

Saturday, July 24th 2021present moment 26 miles meditative jog” Imagining the future is a kind of nostalgia. (...)

You just use the future to escape the present.”
John Green

Empty the mind

Thursday, July 22nd, 2021 empty the mind 26 miles meditative jog” The empty mind - the pure mind - is not a blank, zero-land, where you're not feeling or caring about anything. It's an effulgence of the mind. It's a brightness that is truly sensitive and accepting. It's an ability to accept life as it is. When we accept life as it is, we can respond appropriately to the way we're experiencing it, rather than just reacting out of fear and aversion.
Ajahn Sumedho

Inner voice

Monday, July 12th, 2021 inner voice 26 miles meditative jog”
I have not always chosen the safest path. I've made my mistakes, plenty of them. I sometimes jump too soon and fail to appreciate the consequences. But I've learned something important along the way: I've learned to heed the call of my heart. I've learned that the safest path is not always the best path and I've learned that the voice of fear is not always to be trusted.”

Nature

Friday, July 9th, 2021 nature 26 miles meditative jog” The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely, or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quite alone with the heavens, nature, and God. Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple beauty of nature. As longs as this exist, and it certainly always will, I know that then there will always be a comfort for every sorrow, whatever the circumstances may be. And I firmly believe that nature brings solace in all troubles.”

Self conversation

Thursday, July 8th, 2021 self conversation 26 miles meditative jog” If you celebrate your differentness, the world will, too. It believes exactly what you tell it—through the words you use to describe yourself, the actions you take to care for yourself, and the choices you make to express yourself. Tell the world you are a one-of-a-kind creation who came here to experience the wonder and spread joy. Expect to be accommodated.”

Self understanding

Wednesday, July 7th, 2021 self-understanding 26 miles meditative jog” No tree tries to become a certain kind of tree. No flower tries to become a certain kind of flower.

If you can stop trying so hard to become who you think you should be, and instead commit to understanding and nourishing yourself, you will bloom into whatever kind of person you are.”
Vironika Tugaleva

Thank you

Monday, July 5th, 2021 thank you 26 miles meditative jog” We have been conditioned to believe that prayer is all about asking a God for something. But what if you have nothing to ask for? What if you treat prayer as a way of being thankful to Life, for the gift of this human form, of this lifetime? What if, in prayer, you offer yourself up to divinity, as a humble, willing instrument, for Life to work through you? Try praying this way – you will find it healing, magical, beautiful, and transformational!”
