The weather along with the landscape is beautiful here. Day # 4 & 5 of my work week are always easy because I choose to do half days, but once a month I take day # 4 & 5 off and make it a 4 day weekend for myself. This just happens to be one of those weekends.
It really does feel like I have gained my time and my mind back from the 'o...l familiar frantic pace I used to run. Turned out to be that all of that pace was maintained through a paradigm of fear and greed....what would happen to me if I didn't keep it up...and all the things the ridiculous voices kept telling me I needed or wanted. I found release from that fear and that greed.
Being present right here---right now makes living possible.
The world cannot be discovered by a journey of miles...
only by a spiritual journey...
by which we arrive at the ground at our feet
and learn to be at home."~~~Wendell Berry

Ahhh, nice one :) It's good to see you moving in that cool rhythm, Kent.
That Berry quote is just beautiful, sums it up so succinctly.
There really is enough grace for the day :-)
