Car...

 I seem to do a lot of driving even though it happens to be my least favorite activity. Most of my friends live far away, my family live a good distance and I'm now helping a friend that lives on the other side of town from me. So I try to use the time in the car as a "car meditation." I quiet my mind as much as possible while still driving and just try to keep all the ideas, lists and thoughts that come flooding in when I'm still. I've heard of walking meditation, why not car meditation?!

Safety Net...

As I was dog walking yesterday, I got to thinking a lot about the "unknown." As much as my life feels like I'm walking into the unknown right now, when I think about it deeper, each day is really a big unknown. I can make goals, write lists, plan ahead, but each present moment does not come with a guarantee that you will have another. Anything can happen in any given moment... So if I think I'm holding on to a safety net, I'm kidding myself. I walk beside the unknown everyday whether I am aware or not.
