“The feeling that any task is a nuisance will soon disappear if it is done in mindfulness.”
-Thich Nhat Hahn
The awareness of presence is peaceful.
When you suddenly become aware of a beautiful sunset, you merge with the present moment, which is always accompanied by a feeling of relief, a brief moment of peace.
From the date, my dad would have taken this right after he adopted me. A huge thank you to Bud Enos, for giving me the life that he did.
Most ideas about how things should be and all ideas about what might happen are better off abandoned.
As I steadily stopped imagining what might happen, living became a lot easier.
Be more aware. Shift attention to the sense of being present, and increasingly feel its perfection.
When aware, desire is absent, which is the ideal state.

Comments are welcome, and all questions will be answered.
I’ll post a new topic each Friday afternoon, in one of two categories. One will be on shooting, and the other will be on living. Or: how I learned to live from what I learned by competing.
Thanks for coming in.
