    Hi-ho and hello.

    So in the line of Jung’s first pillar; health and wellness, there’s a call for oneself to be present and aware. And I feel that a lot of people who call for meditation, call for balance, yoga, hell even just a spiritual investigation into oneself calls for tying a tether to the current situation. And though I can’t remember the person’s name on Master class talking about meditation, from what I remember there was this intentional relief that the speaker gave reminding us, reminding us that it’s okay to drift off through meditation or what have you, whatever it is that you’re using to meditate.

    Which also, again I don’t have the Master Class anymore, and I forgot the name of the meditation instructor that was in the courses. And my memory is s*** I am so sorry. But one of my favorite things that this gentleman made sure to share, was that never ever is our mind empty, and it’s okay. To empty our mind is to shut down. At least that’s what I remember from the lessons.

    But thinking about it, looking at my own life, looking at hell even my wife’s life, my mind is constantly reeling, not in a negative position mind you, simply just thinking, it’s not something that you can just siphon off into the distance where you can’t be aware of it. I guess you can if you don’t want to be aware, but to me I find out laughable. Life is too f****** beautiful and too precious for us to go by plugging ourselves in every minute of the day.

    So anyhow Tuesday, a day that called for a lot of cooking, a lot of prepping, and a lot of planning. To which then opened up into a bit of a trip to the mall with the kids, and during all of it I made sure to be aware of the present. Making sure to hear my son chitter, or his belting screen, here are the laughter of my daughter and her buddy beside her, laughing maniacally, talking s*** about friends, and being presently cognizant of the Mrs driving and everything else going around, realizing to clear the mind, I don’t know if that’s something I’d ever want. I liked being able to grasp that earlier today. I like being able to go to the store with everything on my mind knowing I needed to do this, I need to do that, I need to talk to my professor, I need to go and finish the report, there’s so many other things I need to do, but at the same time there’s this call to be present in the moment because you may not be able to have an opportunity to go and make enchiladas again.

    And that that’s what I was making, enchiladas, gluten-free enchiladas on top of that and everything was homemade, but the thing is there was something about being present, and having my hands and mind and feet busy, though all of it hurt, there’s something reveling to be had in the joys of just being alive. And that’s something just through the first pillar which, guaranteed I’m nowhere near yet getting into the deepness of it, it seems that to be aware, and to be appreciative of the everyday monotony is what brings that simple happiness. And that’s the thing does the happiness need to be overwhelming, does it need to be coded in Gold adorned and glitter with a red carpet rolled out for us? Or can we really just find happiness and doing the little things?

    These are just thoughts that come through, all the time most of the time, and I like to share that journey of coming to the conclusion, coming to an understanding, or just a discovery on my own.

    But I will call to all that do make a point to read or come back and like or follow. Consider the little things in life, and be present and knowing that those little things become that foundation for the bigger things of life. It seems that in finding a grasp on the present, being able to enjoy those little bits of happiness, help happiness to become so much easier in grasping throughout the day, and for that, throughout life.

    We’re told as students that it’s in us to write what we know, what we understand or understood one time or another.

    In high school, if you’re lucky, or terribly unlucky, philosophy becomes the course that has its own pedestal. Here we’re taught that the wise admit in being wise due to admitting a knowledge of little but consistently acquiring knowledge and aiming for learning what can be understood, to not know everything, but to know that it’s a collecting and using the knowledge to benefit not just the self but all others around. Right?

    So as of right now my journal entries, my posts, my published whatever these are, they’re my perceptions, they’re the way I look at the world and the way I perceive it as it gnaws and gestates the masses.

    I’ll also do everything I can to maintain a neutral balance but will never get into politics. I support peace, love, honor, respect, and truth.

    If ever you read this know that the way I look at the world is this. And no this isn’t some blase crap shoot where I don’t see anything but just people kind of line that you hear from somebody who is absolutely an atrocious person and are just trying to save their hide. I grew up in the church, and no not Catholic, but there has always been something that was taught regardless of my beliefs now, the teaching was this: we are all breathing the same air, we are all sharing the same world, it is on us to respect one another and it is up to us to treat one another the way we want to be treated. Simple as that, and I understand that it is not simple life is not simple, struggle is not simple. The chaos of the world and how we take that or how we change it truly depends on us.

    I truly believe that we’ve lost massive sight of just that simple, too simple of a way in viewing what it is around us. It’s hard not to get emotionally wrapped into it though because you see things developing and if you’re a reader these things developing immediately shoot fear throughout, because the daunting parallels to fiction and what is now reality unraveling, is more than horrifying and there are so many that are all for the chaos.

    All I can do is show as much light as I can and regardless of anything rise above that chaos and only show the betterment of myself and always with love. What I hope is that continued actions shining what I’m talking about, will rub on like stickers of light.

    So I said everything that I said throughout this entry, whether it’s knowledge whether it’s just a perception, I hope it is perceived as knowledge or at least a soft knowledge and just what can be okay and can be right but then we get on the semantics of right and wrong.

    And I’m tired.

    Goodnight and Good morning. Good morning and Goodnight.
