Tomorrow morning is the final push to get my remaining possessions out of the Fortress of Solitude, sorting and organizing and ultimately eliminating everything that doesn't serve (#73). I've gotten verbal agreement of the conditions of rent, and my new tenants need the space and the safety of the Fortress much more than I do, and they will pay my mortgage - a win-win situation (#19).
I am now officially single again, and that seems to be for the better. The Universe seems to be requiring me to resume working on myself. Living on a bus does not lead well to a relationship, and I have my tantric studies (#13), the EPPP (#14), many reports to write and clients to help, converting the bus to a RV (#17), and decisions to make about my future. I have also been allowed to attend advanced classes in the dojo (#35, #39), and I have been invited to begin more intense sword and bo/staff training (#7 - #10, #12).
My body is demanding better sleep (#97) and eating habits (#26), and I'm growing stronger (#1) and moving faster (#5). I'm preparing for a puja in less than a month, the same weekend as the Regional Burn, as well as the annual BIMC seasonal run, and a weekend party - and still planning on going to Texas to visit family.
Musashi wrote that the strategies of life were:
Do not think dishonestly.
The Way is in training.
Become acquainted with every art.
Know the Ways of all professions.
Distinguish between gain and loss in worldly matters.
Develop intuitive judgment and understanding for everything.
Perceive those things which cannot be seen.
Pay attention even to trifles.
Do nothing which is of no use.
Musashi added that in strategy your spiritual bearing must not be any different from normal. Both in fighting and in everyday life your spirit should be determined though calm. Meet the situation without tenseness yet not recklessly, your spirit settled yet unbiased. Even when your spirit is calm do not let your body relax, and when your body is relaxed do not let your spirit slacken.
So be it.
