  Why wait?

After working on my taxes for most of the day, I went to a yoga class with Teresa at Thrive in the evening. It was a low-key class, ending with restorative poses and candlelight. The room was chilly because there was a problem with the heating and no chance for repair on the weekend, but I built up some body heat fairly quickly. Halfway through the session, I realize that I had been sabotaging my own productivity, physical wellbeing and mental stamina by putting off yoga classes because I had "more important things to do" and shortchanged my practice. I trick myself into thinking that I have to concentrate on a top priority, but not necessarily investing all my time and energy in that task. There's a diminishing return on my investment.

I thrive when exploring new realms of knowledge and experience.

"The eye through which I see God is the same eye through which God sees me; my eye and God's eye are one eye. One seeing, one knowing, one love."
         — Meister Eckhart

"Life is like a ten-speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use."

Many people hear voices when no-one is there. Some of them are called mad and are shut up in rooms where they stare at the walls all day. Others are called writers and they do pretty much the same thing.
