Morning Zen

Changing the reaction. Read today it called auto-response. The fellow I speak with says it is the lies I tell my self on my first thought. Programed by the self for so very long the first thing I think. My first reaction to situations tends to be one based not on reality or no functional truth but upon a negative experience or thought transferred to the present. Tainting the moment with something that is not even true or real. Break free from that ingrained. Learning to let that come and work through the process to break through to a reality of the situation and being. Acknowledge the thought. Address it. Ask if that thought is truth and from what is it based and from where it comes. See the thought as it is not dress up in the fanciful cloaks of the mind but stripped of power and illusion. Is it true, is it real, is it valid? Accept it or let it go for the truth.

The weave of the tapestry. The fates create the wonderous cloth of our lives, the threads individual moving and touching and blending, to intertwine and then to diverge again. Seeing only the individual threads and color and moment with a glimpse now and again of more. Drifting now and again as if outer body to see the entirity of the tapestry, more like a vision is a colorful dream.

In the events of the day dictating the nature and direction of the morning zen makes sometimes for a heavy heavy day. We lift them up to you today.

Morning Zen

From whence it comes. I suppose the details and thoughts on the morning zen arrive throughout the morning. Typically up and shower and coffee and drive and work. During the few open minutes at the beginning of the work day I compose the thoughts for the morning. Email catching up and reading daily quotes and the horoscope can influence the process. Dreams from the night before, conversations and catching up with others too. The events of the past week have been heavy in the heart and mind and this morning just brings more clarity in living life. Fully live today.

Morning Zen

There is a moment. Described in many ways. All the tumblers click into place and the door previously closed, opens. A moment when the confusion and questioning ceases, and clarity and answers come. That moment. Savor it.

Google Chrome

Well folks, Google Chrome is out. I downloaded it at school and it would not install via our firewall. Downloaded it at the studio. Firefox was running and Chrome wanted me to close out to convert over the bookmarks. I was in the middle of a 1983 set from the Grateful Dead and was not about to close my browser. Later, when I was closed out of Firefox it was easy to import bookmarks and passwords to the Chrome browser. It is nice. Tabbed browsing. The tools button on the far right and no menu selections at the top of the screen make it a bit disconcerting. It looks good to me thus far.
Back at school they have blocked the Chrome Download altogether.

What is it about the anticipation of travel that brings up the spiritual? That is it seems the movement to a place with purpose brings a direction of thought and feeling that is not possible in the stillness. Now the stillness is a bringer of a peace unmatched; movement bringing out something different, a yearning fulfilled.

Morning Zen

It has been a flurry of thoughts and actions and business and what nexts. Making a choice and sticking to it with amendments and opinions of others to taint the thought of what is right, what is wrong, and what is right for me is a trip. Finding the strength to stand by a decision even more hard.

Coffee

The bean, the bean roasted to perfection. Grown in the shade of mountains tended by loving hands. Imparting love through its process. Read that the right cup of outstanding quality and care of preparation can make evev the grayest of skys turn blue. Or something like that. In the front seat is a half pound of sumatra litang. The truck smells of wonder and joym
