Its been a wonderful couple of weeks for vacation; went down to the lower mainland and stayed at alouette lake at the provincial park. Kayaked, swam, hiked, had nerf wars in the trees with the kids....why did I come home again? I admit I didnt do much training, although the acts of kindness found its way everyday, and I was much more working on the spiritual parts of training. (which is sorely lacking sometimes.) I've been reading alot about change, direction, what is my passions in life, etc. As was mentioned in a previous post, its scary to break the mold.
What did I learn in my travels? I'm learning who I am and where I want to be. And I dont think I'm anywhere close to that yet.
One thing I did read (when I did actually sit down...wasnt often!) that I thought was a funny coincidence; first Master Brinkers post before I left with the cat staring at you (perspective), then reading abit of Zen and motorcycle maintenance, then this:
"Cats are spontaneous, content to live in the present moment. They're small, shedding, scratching, inscrutable Zen masters sent to teach us the paradox of undoing in a hectic world where things always have to be done"
I want to be a cat.
