Trembles

The Maniac mantra.. Too busy for this ,too busy for that, need to
take care not to upset the balance sheet, buy this to stop that, don't
eat this so you don't look like that...Don't worry about that, pay us
this and we will worry for you."

So quick we forget that life is a perspective. We consume so much
plastic culture that we brainwash ourselves into believing this mantra
is the way life is. Thinking like this, as if we can make a
reservation for our death, makes life scary.

Scary enough that i found myself trembling today. I have no real
reason to tremble but yet I tremble.I was buying coffee to wake up
from being too tired. Too tired from worrying and trying to match my
life to a maniac Mantra.

Could my brain be shorting a bit? A re calibration of itself after
riding waves this weekend? The tremble is working like an earthquake to
relieve the stress to two opposing tectonic perspectives. One that
worries and one that lives.

Profound activities create profound perspectives. They force you to
see things in the moment, through your own lense of experience.
Activities like volunteering, meditation,yoga, playing music, and exercise,
force you to stop looking through someone else's perspective.
Profound activities require introspection whether before, during, or after
the activity has taken place. It is this introspection that cracks the facade of
dominant fear based thinking. "Profoundivities" allows for trust in
yourself and not in some magic bullet that is on blue light special at "MegaBox Mart."


Life is too short. Call in sick and do something worthwhile.
