A digest for conscious living
I completed my practice this morning in addition to a meditation before bed last night. I have been having trouble concentrating the past couple of days, and Im not sure what the cause is. I am not able to clear my mind of thoughts as easily as I normally am, but have had to spend more time in the process of quieting rather than in the place of silence. I think it might have to do with the fact that I have not been able to do any truly vigorous exercise since I got sick about 10 days ago, and the restless energy in my body is making my mind fidgety. I think I am finally healthy again and I look forward to a hard work-out at the gym tomorrow.
Music and poetry do Truth more justice than philosophy and reason…
“I live my life in widening circles
that reach out across the world.
I may not compelete this last one,
but I give myself to it.
I circle around God, around the primordial tower.
I’ve been circling for thousands of years
and I still don’t know: am I a falcon, a storm, or a great song?”
-Rainer Maria Rilke
Goodnight,
