Days 102 – 104, November 6, 2016 @5:59 pm

The days are rolling by.  I’m falling behind in my writing and analyzing of my changes.  The words and pictures are in me but the habit of putting off till later is still strong in me.  Stronger than my will at present.  I’m past my 100 days.  I’m getting a clearer picture of how to proceed with my year.  I’m claiming November as my own, to slow into sync with the season.  It is time to get out of my head and live in real time.

I want November to rest and be with the physical, to feel the wind, rain and the ground beneath my feet.  November is the month to nourish my body and mind for the winter.  And so these last few days I have gone back to sit with a few of the mindfulness teachers from the Mindfulness Summit of October 2015.  I’m learning and understanding my brain is nature’s brain.  It is not my fault how it works but understanding its ways and being mindful can help me steer it in different directions.

Life is hard.  Life is easy.  Life is beautiful but it can get ugly.  It is brittle and it is soft.  However it comes, I will greet it as a welcomed guest.  Hello life.
