island time 13 months ago

while in puerto rico i visited a surfer town named Rincon. it was very laid back. the way of life there is so very different from mine. i noticed that everything is made to get wet, leaving the impression that nothing is permanent.

for my first few days there, people would say, “tranquilidad.” it took me until my 3rd day in Rincon (my 5th day in Puerto Rico) but i began to get the feel of island time.

i knew that i would be on this adventure for 2 weeks, and could not bring myself to make any reservations. i was traveling alone, and took on the no reservations challenge as a type of spiritual, go with the flow challenge to myself. i wanted to see how i would handle just being there everyday.

this was a HUGE blessing! it enabled me to travel the entire island and even to a small island off the mainland. i was able to follow my heart as well as the suggestions of locals. acceptance was the only way to survive and actually thrive on this journey. i am grateful.

perfectly made - "uncompromising surrender to what is" 15 months ago

“uncompromising surrender to what is”
this includes our limitations

i find that i beat myself up for having challenging aspects of personality and character. this non-acceptance causes me great suffering because i have a strong wish to not have those aspects of character or personality that i view as negative. yet for that moment, that is what is, and fighting against it only adds emphasis. accepting these challenging traits would be less painful, while also recoginizing that who i am is not those things. the essence of me is perfectly made and it shines brighter than all “form”



in lieu of saying "not" be . . . 15 months ago

accept things as they are
do not fight against them
accept

if you are stuck in the mud
do not fight against being stuck
accept that you are stuck
only then can you relax
become empowered
get free

the goal is to be able to walk around and not feel any fear or anger in regards to things around me, to understand the innate nature of all things and to then transcend it and be able to follow my lifes goals wherever they may lead

i love getting along with people and things. i want to get along with the world. i want to be at peace with it. if i could let my anger aside, i think i would enjoy that. and i think i would enjoy every day.



Harder than it looks 2 years ago

I realized recently that it’s hard to accept limits – limits on what I can give others, and limits on what others can give me. I’m learning, constantly.

Honest life 3 years ago

I must learn to accept what i am and what i ain’t. And others for the same. I must learn to be honest about those things you dont like to talk about but should perhaps.
