Morning Gratitude: Reflections on Detachment & Awareness in the Present Moment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Cool, crisp morning—temperature in the low 50s, fall is really present. I found myself aggressively adjusting the hot water faucet to hotter as the shower removed the chill, followed by hot coffee brought to my office by my loving wife. I will follow this with a formal meditation session later this morning. Hot shower, hot coffee, heated office, loving wife—Life is Good.I reflect: all is good and in balance, all my needs are satisfied. I have access to every creature comfort imaginable, many int
Morning Gratitude Reflection on Aging and Memories (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tuesday morning—an early rise, showered, dressed, bed made, coffee made/consumed, completed a meditation sitting, and now in my home office contemplating this journal entry. Yesterday I had a long reunion with a couple of college buddies, catching up on recent developments but centered around memories from half a century ago… We are all in our 70s, but I feel ageless and back in my 20s in their presence… Life is Good.I reflect on a Marcus Aurelius quote: “Look well into thyself; there is a sourc

Read excerpt
Sunday morning at 6 AM. I’m sitting with my laptop, drinking hotel coffee in a communal breakfast area, surrounded by early-rising hotel patrons each consuming various breakfast foods. It is not the most upbeat environment for attempting a meaningful entry, especially as a cool dampness cramps my bones.Well, to start, I am grateful for the okay coffee (even if it’s not my own), for the fresh banana, and for the energy to rise on this dreary day. I am grateful for my health and the ability to pus
Morning Gratitude: Reflections on Making and Keeping Daily Plans (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Saturday morning—a non-rushed start to the day. Two cups of coffee prior to sitting in meditation. On second thought, drinking coffee was a meditation in itself while sitting in a living room upholstered chair in silence. Now I’m at my computer keyboard after a 30-minute sit, clearing my mind so it can receive the blessings that surround me. Life is good, starting the day in silence.I reflect on the plans for the day ahead: first, completing this journal entry, followed by a formal group meditat
