...there's this... but then... that... which one...?... what you choose is essentially both and all... how?...
...if it is a decision between hanging out with a new friend, or an old friend, or attending an event, or staying home. or hitting a cafe... whichever you decide to go with means you've also chosen not to do the others... i.e. tonight i chose cafe over an event... over staying at home... over hanging with a friend... etc... this means i chose not to do the other things...
...choosing not to is a good thing... it keeps you within bounds... the challenge is when you want to do all of it... and you try... as i have... many times... and in the process... not getting deep with any of it... nyc... cities... train us for this... suburbs are the opposite... train you not to do anything... to grow fat and sedentary...
...in between there is village... being village as verified by the ancient ways... cultures devoted to spirit... where illustration sculpture writing all were in devotion to the One... this breadth provides clues to being village... into how to move... and even in babylon this becomes possible through principles... as has been my understanding of the teachings of the prophet muhammad...
...jesus moved with compassion... being like jesus for me means being compassionate... the prophet teaches us to anchor our days with Connecting to that which is Always... by becoming One through practicing nothingness... what does it mean to become nothing?... to give up... give it up... let go... arms up without a public enemy symbol on my back...
...instead of going to nutrition school at this moment... instead of jumping into the next thing... i am in single minded focus towards building the school community ashram house... a space of Love... devotion... spirituality... religion... ancient ways...
...single minded focus... one step at a time...
