🌬 fitting the spiritual, 🌫

into the natural pattern of recovery, living and growth, is something that i seem to do auto-magically these days.it is more than a little ironic that just a few days after writing about writing, it was suggested by the daily reading that i meditate about meditation. i did not quite follow that suggestion, as i sat and listened this morning, but i certainly considered the nature and pattern of my spiritual practice. since finding a path that i could be “true” to, things just click into place, even if i have no idea what the product looks like, now or any time in the future. it may be, that when push comes to shove and i am faced with the unthinkable, i may revert to the spiritual path into which i was born to, way back when. i am quite averse to that in this current slice ‘o time, but i can be open to whatever as the need arises. one thing i am certain of, at least sitting in the comfort of my home, with a belly full of breakfast and the desire to stay clean, is that i get more from my spiritual practice, than i ever considered was possible.
moving into the here and now and certainly more practical part of my life, what i did “hear” this morning was a feeling of everything is as it needs to be. i can fret and fume about all that is beyond my control or i can just accept what is. i may act6ually get my ticket completed and pushed today, at work. i am fairly certain that i have demonstrated what i need to demonstrate to keep my position for today. i could not sleep last night and i am not use whether or not that is a symptom of over-training, the coffee beverage i had at 6:00 PM or considering what i have to accomplish before i head north, later this afternoon. it really does not matter, as that is also outside of the realm of things i can change. i do know, that as i sat, i felt a deep and abiding connection. what that connect was to is something i no longer care to analyze. all i know is that when i came back to this world, figuratively anyhow, i was refreshed, renewed and yes hopeful about today. no sense in over-thinking this, because the theme of my day day seems to be accept and move on. so i guess that means it is time to go pound out some miles and get my sweat on, after all, fitness is not something that happens by “ASS-MOSIS.” 🤣 🤣 🤣
