Goals /LIfe Update
May. 16th, 2010 06:48 pmThis weekend was about the Abyss. Those who know, know. The Abyss passes through me ever faster, but correspondingly more intensely, and I have learned to let it in, and through, and to honor the learning. I am being trained for something, and this is necessary. I used to fight it off, until I was in what I thought was a convenient time and place, until I realized the Universe puts me in the right time and place.
I continued minimal training (#35) and I will soon go running (#1) today. My ascetic routine is a comfort, and a luxury, one of few. As the Austin Zen Center writes: In any spiritual discipline, regularity of practice is essential. When we have a schedule we take away having to be led around by preference, mood, or rationalizing. We just do it. And every time we just do it our practice deepens and our inner confidence grows. I will be soon contacting the AZC about spending a week there (#85) this Summer.
