What counts is not so much the destination but the resolve to take the next step.
p. 42 of "Buddhism Without Beliefs, A Contemporary Guide to Awakening." by Stephen BatchelorThis book has been a mainstay in my reading for many years. For several days I have been reviewing all the marked places and the one above keeps popping up as a message to me now. Purposes and plans seem easy to begin but just as easy to get sidetracked at many points. I believe the above quote is very powerful. While on vacation, I have found myself considering many new possibilities for the next step in several areas but come to no conclusions. Perhaps over the next couple of weeks some of this will solidify. Some examples are: 1) What is the next step for The Yogatorium? What about my own personal yoga practice? 2) How can I simplify my wardrobe? Why do I keep clothes I never wear? What can I eliminate? 3) What about my diet? How do I improve it?
You get the idea. These are just a few of the activities I seem to spend a lot of useless time wondering about and taking very little action..............
The weather is changing. Much cooler now even though nice sunshiny, hot afternoons. I'm actually wearing a lightweight turtle neck sweater this morning!
Enjoyed a free chair yoga class yesterday in Morrisville Centennial Library. I'd forgotten how valuable such a class can be! We did some interesting moves with a tennis ball for foot work. A different teacher and class coming up Monday evening.
