We are back safe at the apartment. I am soon to bed. This concludes our broadcast day!

Good night groovy souls !

Freedom!

I wish they’d let us go. It’s an hour home

Buddy is stable. No abnormalities found necessitating admissions. We are being dcd with meds. Bp is coming down. Follow up with primary in am.

Clif bar and peanuts. Dinner of champions

Got food from vending

My buddy ended up in hypertensive crisis so I’ve been in the ER for hours. He’s stable and getting good care. They’re trying to figure what is going on. It’s been a long day, neither of us have eaten but he’s getting care, praise the Gods.

Another chapter down!

7.01 miles ran on a beautiful Monday Morning!

Trending faster, and my endurance is charging back. I'm making progress!

Feelings are, but I am not my feelings. I am experiencing them. I have the choice when I recognize that separation.

I can choose to be whomever I wish in the face of everything the world and the brain chemicals give me.

Onward, toward the dawn!

(Now that I've gotten started, I'm feeling pretty decent!)

This may seem chessey but I said to myself. "Hello anger, and irritation. It's ok. I'm not going to do anything but sit with you, and work this out. I'm going to choose patience, not force."

No toxic positivity, no plastering on of smiles. My brain was doing its chemical thing I guess, as it wont to do, and adding to that fire, would only make it hotter.

So I went on with my morning, focusing on my breathing, working on my routines, drilling down into those things that I know bring peace.

Good morning groovy souls!

Yesterday I did my best to rest, but still some elements of stress did find me. I went to bed mostly on time, and slept hard.

I had some anxiety nightmares, and woke up cranky and irritated.

I've been trying to cultivate mindfulness, and so I stood for a moment before the mirror and breathed, then decided to respond the same way I respond to others that I try to be there for.

Good night groovy souls!

It's time to rest, I had a very nice rest day.

Onward toward the dawn. I am a sleepy beast.

We carry within ourselves, the legacy of our ancestors, and of untold stars whose light has never been seen by man. Elements of their stellar forges live on in us. We carry water within us that fell on battlefields, and great saints, it all just keeps moving around, existence every changing, shifting.

It's incredible when I stop to consider it.

The Buddha talks some about this with the Dharma on Emptiness. Even an empty bowl is full of things, it is the fire, earth and water that made it, the air that made it, the elements that made it. Though it is empty, it has all these things in it.

Good morning groovy souls!

The birds are singing. It's a brilliant beautiful Sunday out there, with many adventures waiting!

I was thinking of clouds some this morning while I was meditating. There are times where they cover the sky, then they dissipate, some parts of them fall to earth as rain, while other elements of them continue in the sky, unseen, but the cloud is still there, just changed.

Such a thing seems a truth for all that is.

@wolfwoman

I had a wonderful time at Colonial Williamsburg. I visited George Washington's and Thomas Jefferson's church.

That was wild. Saw many good things and we only got started.

More for next time!

I got to end the day with another visit from @wolfwoman She is the raddest, and has a wonderful family.

It's time to rest groovy souls. Until tomorrow!

Onward, toward the dawn!

Good morning groovy souls!

It's a beautiful, if cloudy, Saturday out there!

I've got one more session in the gym before tomorrows rest day, and then we are off to Colonial Williamsburg. I think its going to be a most interesting day!

Next week, I will most likely be departing Newport News. It's going to shake up the routine further.

Every moment is the threshold of the next adventure. There is something to cherish in each instance of our being.

Onward, toward the dawn!
