Health For Life

Seems like I became rather sensitive to this sense of being in a world where there isn’t enough time to accomplish the things we would like. As I became acutely aware of the struggle with time I also began to manifest several people who suffer from this similar struggle. I’ve known for the past few years that I’m capable of controlling the cadence by which time moves. Often times I’ll have a more spacious sense of time when I’m uncomfortable. One of the silver-lined gifts of discomfort and suffering is that our experience of time is broadened. Another phenomenon that creates this feeling is when you’re sore from challenging your physical body with an intense workout or engaging in a new activity. This past weekend I journeyed up into the high Sierra with a friend to enjoy the spectacle of Autumn and the beautiful backdrop created by the draining of color from the deciduous life forms. I had the great pleasure to spend over three hours within a grove of spangled, glorious, and quivering aspen. I meditated upon the feeling of there being enough time in a day to accomplish the many yearnings that we aspire toward. If you’ve found there to be a struggle against time I highly reccommend going outside and sitting in a landscape that has been present for a very long time. I know it works for me.
