Sat on the balcony for 10min. Already dark. Slow moving clouds, the wind shakes the treetops.

It made me peaceful, but not for long. A welcomed break. Do it more often!

That there are days where I simply do not pay attention to the daily plans I have made. So DN did not work out well. Too short.

Life is too short not to achieve something…are we ants? Or wise planning beings?

BEFORE: Day flew by even in getting up at 7:30 on a Saturday…Iaido training and then cooking for an invitation at already 17:30. So there was not enough time it seems 😉 only to do 10min…hmmm ;-(
WHILE: Ok. At least something and a little concentration on senses and life, the real life, breathing and experiencing.
AFTER: Ok. Got out and went running, and grabbing some Coconut milk and Red Bull on the road to bring home. Again an mix of things and purposes…bad bad bad!

Ice melts / moments, too / lick them away, get the flavour / smile and you get a greeting back / don´t forget about Heinz v. Förster / publish his message you received years ago – do something with it! / if you can look at a tree you can talk with refugees, too – who are forced to do nothing…/

Lying at the banks of the danube river, watching ships and boats and their waves coming and going, some are slowly floating by, others speeding up… Trying to calm down my mind and letting go of my mental disturbances, watching myself, my reactions and trying to identify the source of thoughts – i want to center myself in the observer and the “watching”

This is not a game were i can expect any kind of rewards, just doing it and forget about the outcome… It`s kind of a sesshin in everyday`s life. It is no fun. Whatever!

I´m not able to do nothing, oh my god. And i thought i`m the gigantic chillmaster… I am doing all the time – at least in my mind. Disciplining is possible, although you never may get “clean”, it is similar to an alcoholic..

I feel desperate and i seriously begin to doubt about my competencies in the field of idleness.. I try to find excuses and an exit from that commitment.. I want to quit!! Not really. Nevertheless: Go on.

There is no destination only aspiration. The profit lies in the doing itself. Welcome to the NOW!
