Some random thoughts................
The rain always seems to slow me down and lament the "time wasted" in my limited time here on this big blue ball. I love the rain, it is calming for me, life giving, peaceful, cleansing, necessary, and will happen whether or not I want it too.
After the rain, when the world brightens up and finally reappears, it is a catalyst for me. I can feel the pull of the "outside" calling me to come see what is new, what is alive, what is waking up after a dry spell. Thank you Mother Nature, I needed that.
I have been trying to read "Zen and the art of Motorcycle maintenance", a tough read for me, not really my kind of book. I usually read to escape thinking, this book doesn't allow that. I know it is a "story", I also know it is supposed to be much deeper than that. I can start to see where the book is trying to take me but..... am I ready and willing to go there?
It was a nice meeting yesterday for the I Ho Chuan, even though we all weren't there. I get the feeling that as a group we could probably talk for hours, I really like that. You don't get many situations in life anymore where you can sit down with a group of like minded individuals and just talk. The world needs more of that, just talking, not judging, not arguing, not blaming others for your short comings, just talking. Hearing that others are possibly having the same struggles as me makes me feel less isolated, less alone. Having a group such as you fellow students/instructors/classmates is a priceless thing. The guidance and advice provided by this group are a necessity I didn't know I was missing, now I look forward to every meeting, every blog, every class. Thank you.
Food for thought. Food for healing. Food for comfort. Food for life. Food for enjoyment. Food food food. I love to eat. I love good food. Some (most??) of the food I eat is probably not the best choice for me wanting to live a long, healthy life.
A few years ago, fellow students were posting recipes on Kwoon talk, we need more of that. I know I need to eat healthier, I know what I am eating is killing me much faster than I would like. So I am asking for some help from YOU reading this. State the obvious to me please, tell me what a banana can do for me, put out your favorite salad combo, tell me what is good for joint pain. I will guarantee that I will listen!!
There is sooooooo much crap information out there that I don't know who is telling me the truth and who is just trying to sell me something.
So please please please, it you have a healthy natural solution for ANY ailment out there, lets hear about it. If you have a meal that you absolutely love that you would like to share, tell me about it.
I need to eat better, I need to squeeze as much life out of life as I can, good, clean healthy will help me do that.

Stalled a little but starting to move again. Life keeps getting in the way of the "free time" I use for these, need to rearrange the fluff to get more meat out of the day. All on me, I am my own boss/master so time to kick my own butt and get moving.
