I had a realization about the practice as I was journaling just now. One of the terms I've come across in my studies that I find incredibly harsh is the phrase "monastic suicide"

When you violate a precept, or your discipline, that is what this old buddhist monk, Master Guishan, called it

I was thinking on impermanence, and how all we really have is this moment, and then I realized, that each moment is a brand new moment, its a new life time, daisy chained back and forth towards eternity.

Good night groovy souls.

It's been a good day, but I fell off the diet wagon really hard, and hit the snacks with all the hunger of a forgotten God.

These days happen, especially when I'm destressing. It's a lot of old habit energy. Once the tension is off, and I get a moment to breathe, it's one of the ways I process.

Understanding this, helps me face it mindfully which means my ultimate trajectory is towards improvement.

@ChippySuave If you loved Dark Brandon, buckle up for War Walz!

I am feeling very hungry and very snacky today, and I cannot fathom why, but its hard to not sit with snacks and nibble while I work.

@Vozy It was such a joy to get to reconnect a while! I've missed you brother!

@sfleetucker @tyghebright

@tyghebright I have no idea who the person in red is to be honest.

Ladies, Gentlemen, and honored other beings, may I have your attention for an important announcement...

Hop!

Thank you for your attention. Have a groovy day! ^_^

For the first time in 2 months, I have my writing open, and I'm looking to create.

I am almost vibrating with excitement, and a touch of trepidation.

Good morning groovy souls! Another day another 10k! It’s like training in a dryer vent out there!

Pushing hard on those hills. I’m building up to step things up at the gym when I return home!

@AskTheDevil Very sleepy. ^_^

It's about time for me to curl up and rest a while. It's a joy to be in touch again!

@Jorro I am just heading to bed. I'm a sleepy beast. ^_^

It's a joy to meet you! Thank you for joining me on the journey. I'm looking forward to talking with you more.

@Armchaircouch If it's meat, or a vegetable in need of refigeration, if there's any doubt, throw it out. Typically groceries from the store that require refrigeration are only good for 3 hours outside of it.

Your fridge staying shut during that time will act like a cooler, but after 27 hours, I'd be highly suspect of anything that requires refrigeration that wasn't frozen.

@Warpspeed2 I woke up at 0200 ^_^ I was getting ready for Lunch around 0900 ^_^

@Jorro Good morning groovy soul!
