Cycling is meditation on two wheels. Cycling imitates life with its ups and downs. The focus of the ride is the journey. Not simply reaching a destination. Both the challenging steep climbs, the rough and rugged terrain as well the sweet downhill and flat sections are all part of the ride, conquered one pedal stroke at a time. Enjoy your ride!

Keep death always before your eyes. —St. Benedict: The Rules: Chapter 4.47

One reason why Christian tradition has always steered me away from preoccupation with reincarnation has not so much to do with doctrine as with spiritual practice. The finality of death is meant to challenge us to decision, the decision to be fully present here now, and so begin eternal life. For eternity rightly understood is not the perpetuation of time, on and on, but rather the overcoming of time by the now that does not pass away. But we are always looking for opportunities to postpone the decision. So if you say: “Oh, after this I will have another life and another life,” you might never live, but keep dragging along half dead because you never face death. Don Juan says to Carlos Castaneda, “That is why you are so moody and not fully alive, because you forget you are to die; you live as if you were going to live forever.” What remembrance of death is meant to do, as I understand it, is to help us make the decision. Don Juan stresses death as the adviser. Death makes us warriors. —Brother David Steindl-Rast from LEARNING TO DIE, PARABOLA, Volume 2, Number 1: Death.

Living with death always before our eyes allows us to be fully present here now.

Our perception determines how we [view, understand and experience] reality.

A new way of thinking leads to a new way of living where gratefulness and gratitude take centre stage. Life is a gift and we are entrusted with it for a season. Things never go as planned but that does not mean we can't stop to enjoy the many moments we are blessed with both good and bad.

We are all connected. In spite of difference of culture, race, religion, education, economic disparity, etc. we are connected at the heart. When there is solidarity in purpose that leads to action we can move mountains and bring about meaningful and lasting change. But it must first start in our hearts and minds.

The true focus of revolutionary change is never merely the oppressive situations which we seek to escape, but that piece of the oppressor which is planted deep within each of us, and which knows only the oppressors’ tactics, the oppressors’ relationships.

Rates of anxiety and depression among children and adolescents were far lower in the past than they are today. Is this the reason children are more anxious and depressed than ever?

#depression #anxiety #children #play #school

Note to self - Practice self compassion and be kind to myself. This will help me love and relate to others better. It will change the dynamics of everything else - my feelings, thinking and actions. Stop judging and being so harsh on myself. Learn to accept myself for who I am and love myself.

Fate, chance or choice? "We measure our lives using different markers: years, major events, achievements. We can also measure them by the choices we make, the sum total of which has brought us to wherever and whoever we are today," from The Art of Choosing by Sheena Iyengar.

Stop. Breathe. Refocus.
