Life is a Playground

[PacificBlue]

The only difference between then and now is we have money and different titles.

Somebody should have told me to stop wishing for the day I'd be off that playground because I was never going to.

Oh but wait... it's kinda difficult to have someone help you in this life when everyone is out for themselves first. Take care of #1...who cares if you screw #2, 3, and 4...you are what's most important. What the fuck will that get anybody in the end? Will someone please tell me because it seems to me...everything gets left here.

I wanna stay the kid who anders off the playground to find his own adventure.... And when they make me come back...the one that kicks the crapout of the bullies....

What it gets you, depends on what type of person you are... the type to trample over evryone else to serve your own personal needs, or some one who cares about the way the do thing. Someone who can look at themselves and know they did the right thing, treated people the right way, and did the best they could.

You can't control the actions and behaviors of others. But you can control what you do, and how you do it. Take the satisfaction, of knowing you are different, that you act like a real human being, and that the end doesn't always justify the means. It isn't always about the destination, but how we carry ourselves along the journey.

If I knew the answer, I'd be rich. The roles change all the time. I just can't keep up.

Living in the moment. Easy to say...a much harder practice to put into place.

Living in the moment...the only thing thats stops you is you.....must lose all these thoughts and just experience with a silent and open mind and heart...

I agree. I spent more than an hour this evening when I got home listening to meditation music and trying to just focus on breathing.

I'm thinking it may be time to re-enroll in Tai Chi.

I teach, still learning as well, Aikido...which is the japanese version of tia chi and a little bit more "vigerous" but if you can keep your center, empty your mind, relax and just let your self flow, as the kicks and punches wizz by your head....you will ge just a glimpse of what it like to be truly free and alive...the hard part is doing it inthe mundane world...but at least on the mat and cruzing on my bike at break neck speed...i am free of myself....
