This is a place where I journal about music, running, and Buddhism. Feel free to come along for the short essays, offer comments, and provide encouragement or critique.

Do Your Best
We stumble when we give in to our lowest expectations of ourselves--when we deliberately accept less than our best. Today, challenge yourself to do your best--focus on the work given to you; hold each cup with both hands.

Part of Something Greater
"Our places give shelter. That is a given.
Focused only on ourselves, filled with possessions, trying
to impress others, they deny the unity of all.
Connection with the greater truths of otherness has far
greater import than minutiae of our lives.
Focus on ourselves is endless looking in a mirror, reading the same story, replaying the same tape.
There's more richness, new stories, adventures beyond the mirror. The truth of ourselves includes the selves on the outside of our skins, and inside other of our skins.
Bring those lives into your life."
