How did you get to a spiritual 10?

Glacier National Park
Rare views not seen for generations. A wildfire is the only way to get a view like this in your lifetime, or your child’s lifetime.

 

On a scale of 1-10 (10 is best) how do you rate yourself for achieving a consistently spiritual (always forgiving, always grateful, always kind) karma?

How did you get to a 10?

Do you spend every day at a 10?

What do you do to stay at a 10?

People (including me) are so busy it scares me

unique speed limit sign
Yesterday while bicycling to the gym. Do you always drive the speed limit? Why not? Always in a hurry?

 

People are so busy it scares me.

But then i remember that i’m allowing myself to be scared.

The point of a well developed spiritual core is to confront fear and eliminate it quickly and easily.

i can’t control how busy people are nor can i control how their habits impact them or what they do, or don’t do, to manage their daily habits.

It doesn’t mean i don’t care, it means that no amount of worry on my part about their situation is going to change their situation.

So i let it go.

It’s called surrender.

It yields freedom, peace, contentment, and joy.

What makes time stand still for you?

Not far from home, during a morning run.

 

What makes time stand still for you?

Staring at the clouds?

Walking through a forest?

Reading a great book?

Holding hands with someone you love?

Codependency is a real and dangerous enemy

Walt Disney Company Mission statement
Vision and purpose have taken up a lot of space in my head the past few weeks. What is my vision for writing? What is your vision for what you do? What if you don’t have an answer?

 

Writing.

It begins with the notion of carving out time to think.

Next, the act of putting thoughts on ‘paper’ (or a screen).

And finally, deciding whether to hit publish or not.

That said, we must remember…

The first ministry is at home.

Helping yourself process life’s challenges puts you in a better position to help others. Writing does this for me.

Warning: Codependency is a real and dangerous enemy.

It’s an issue i’ve dealt with, and continue to deal with, literally all my life.

Because i refuse to become co-dependent, i struggle with what appears to be a lack of concern. In reality, i’ve surrendered my inability to influence positive change.

i found this article helpful in explaining and understanding codependency basics. The article also helps you do a decent inventory of you and the person(s) in question.

Maybe i was off balance

Nature
i pass this tree multiple times a day.

 

Our neighbor’s tree is now home to a Red Tail Hawk family.

Yesterday morning in the mundane routine of walking the trash can to the curb, i noticed a hawk in the middle of the tree.

This seemed unusual because i normally spot them on the upper and outer branches.

Closer inspection revealed a big nest.

This tree shades our mailbox and our driveway entrance.

i had never noticed the nest being built.

Maybe i was out of balance.
