I haven't blogged in a while. But, what is there to say? Honestly, since going to Mark Whitwell's workshop back in October life has been pretty dang good. Well, life is always good, but it just seems a bit more relaxed. The daily practice helps me to start my day by connecting in to Source.

I've borrowed Mark's book from a friend and just started reading it recently. Right off I got something out of it. In the forward it talks about the Buddhist belief that in life there is suffering. Imagine a person in a boat. Sometimes the waves are gentle. Other times the waves might thrash the boat tossing the person around. Ultimately, it's up to the individual to find balance regardless of what is happening to the boat.

Even though I've been working for years at finding balance and staying centered no matter what life brings, I guess with my daily practice comes a renewed sense of strength, calm, and centeredness. That 20 minutes (or thereabout) serves as a reminder of all I know to be True and I carry that with me throughout the day.
