being flexible

it's the first day of spring...and it feels/looks/smells like it. i can feel my mind and body awakening. it's truly amazing what adaptable creatures we are. perhaps it is especially easy to notice this in minnesota with our dramatic seasons, and our bodies amazing ability to adapt to these seasons. during a walk in the woods yesterday, i stopped briefly in a grove of aspens and noticed the trees swaying in the wind. i mean REALLY swaying...moving in whatever direction the wind blew...not resisting...being flexible. they taught me a lot.

life = good

i'm going to hawaii in 17 days...that's pretty sweet...

escape the trap

just by thinking about it i think i can think it right. but are thoughts really enough? is a thought enough to define me? is it possible to think beyond thoughts, to see beyond thoughts, to feel beyond thoughts? as far as i can tell i can only be what i think i am, the world is only what i think about it...how do i escape the trap that my thoughts have me in?
