one thing...

 One thing I love about how my life has turned out to be, up to this moment in time, is how I am able to be present in the current moment, and not be bothered or fixated on the past or the future. I am also becoming able to forget about events. I do happen to know that on this date of the year, it's considered to be New Year's Eve, but to me, it really is just another day. I'm becoming able to experience every single new progressing moment as the beginning of the rest of my life. I don't need to wait for January 1st to arrive to start living my life better. It's ALWAYS New Life Day, in this very second, this very moment. Not in 4 hours from now. And certainly not 4 hours ago. It's like time stops moving when you pull all of your mind's activities right into being HERE, and observing what is happening, and doing whatever you feel moved to do. Yeahhh, I really like life being like this.

I'm also up to an age where my responsibilities to the world are scanter than they used to be, and I have the freedom and liberties to live my life on the cusp of new moments. This is also a benefit of living a solitary life, not having to coordinate my actions with others... not very much at least. I have a couple of local friends and we just kinda mesh together when it feels like the thing to do. No planning for the most part. It's so sweet. 

I'm lucky to be sitting here writing this right now because it took no planning. There was a sudden burst of a notion in my mind, this thought I'm diatribing right now, and I said, "I think I'll blog about this...", and well, Bob's your uncle!

Okaaaay, other, deeper thoughts... hmmmm, maybe I won't go there just to keep the feeling of joy in this moment in tact.

I agree. Calendar days are arbitrary. Time flows continuously. To stay in the moment is to live in the moment and go with the flow.

ok, ok - i'll write something...

Sometimes I hate the laws of karma that bind me to this reality so much. I hate living in a place that suffers this heat in the summertime so badly too and would gladly pay in slave labor to be able to live in Santa Cruz, or some other affable place near a pleasant seashore that would soothe my body... and my soul. I don't know why I'm not allowed to live in Santa Cruz. When Billy and I became able to live there from 1995 to 1998 it was like we had won a huge lottery, like I had worked my way out of an enormous prison sentence and I was given a liberty to experience freedom from the previous 35 years of junk-karma I had created for myself. Was it the benefits of hard work? Or luck? Or karmic justice? Now I cannot even afford the price of a tank of gas for a day trip to Santa Cruz and my body aches so much from the mental woes and worries my mental disease inflicts me with, I'm afraid that if I got into the 50 degree waters for 30 minutes of body surfing that my musc...
