Thoughts on Day 1

What does it mean to live a life of happiness and peace? Much of my background has led me away from tangible answers to that question! I have been BUSY in this life until I moved full-time to Costa Rica 9 years ago and started practicing quietness, reflection and lovingkindness mediation.

What I have discovered on this 9 year journey is that I miss alot … productive? yes … fully living? no …

The Buddha talked in his first talk after enlightenment about the reality that we are at dis-ease with life. This is due to attachment. The answer to being fully involved in life without suffering is detachment. Wow, what a mind-stretcher that is! To practice an involved life in a detached manner!

Day 1 … over and out …
