Good night groovy souls!

I am feeling tired and more than ready to rest.

Tank is just a perfect example of positive masculinity.

45 minutes of Zone 2 cardio. A solid light day, that really pushed me, but I feel better.

I'm keeping up with it and learning that I don't have to go full bore every day to make progress. I'm focusing on maintaining, come what may, and that long term focus will ensure long term results.

I think about this quote from Sagan a lot. It is profound to consider that we carry the legacy of star forges, supernova, and the beginning of creation itself in our physical bodies.

Particles and elements created in the first moments of being are part of us.

There is a constant hidden exchange going on, and even after we have gone, those same elements that made up our physical vessels will continue until the end of the universe.

Good morning groovy souls!

I am feeling quite fatigued today, in spite of solid rest last night.

It can be easy to get caught up in a productivity death spiral. I think many of us were raised with an idea that if we aren't pushing we're being lazy or failing.

But life is a journey, not a race. It's an adventure, as such it's a mix of slow times and fast times, hard times and good times, but all those times have meaning.

The ultimate meaning of being is to be. You are enough.

It’s time to rest a while, groovy souls !

Fur Elise.... as a WALTZ.

This is so epic and elegant.

When I left on my run, it was 73 degrees, but I didn't account for the near 100% humidity.

The air was so thick you could cut a slice and store it later. I covered about 4 and a half miles, then went to the gym for another 40 minutes on the elliptical to make certain I was keeping up with my training load.

I was unprepared for how hard the steamy day hit me, by the time I got finished with the run it was 81 and like running in a dryer vent.

Still, I saw it through!

My morning meditation buddy.

Good morning groovy souls!

It's a bright and beautiful morning out there. It promises to be a hot one today, as if in herald to the coming summer season.

Bright sun, birds singing, life going about its way... It can be easy to miss those things amidst the distraction of the news, and the challenges of the day.

Yet while those news reports will pass to history, and challenges will fade, those cycles will remain, beautiful and resolute, moment after moment.

Onward, toward the dawn!

Good night groovy souls! It is time to rest.

I am an awe and deeply humbled by the love shown to me today, the kind words said, the welcomes given.

Hope shines like the first rays of dawn reminding a world that is languishing in the cold of the night that a brighter day is coming.

Amid the protests, the wars, the strife, and the division, there are still hearts that care, people that love, and hope to be shared.

Those lights will always overcome the dark.

Onward, toward the dawn!

This week, I've been focusing in on getting closer to my gym routine. This is day 2 of 6 ^_^

I'm pushing hard. I'm still not moving as fast, but I'm focusing in on Zone 3 to low zone 4 cardio, working on building power and endurance back to where I was.

I'm making progress!

Good morning groovy souls!

We had storms last night as I went to rest. It's become so unusual for me to hear the thunder. We simply do not get storms like that in the PNW.

Now though, the sun is rising and the birds are singing. Peace has again returned no matter how busy and cacophonous the night.

Nature shares her wisdom that peace will come in time.

Onward, toward the dawn!
