silent thunder

I have naturally flat feet, always have... We open the bubbling well by lightly gripping the earth with toes, while running qi gong forms. I studied five animal kung fu for years and flat feet didn't impede my progress internally or externally. Though because of the flat foot, I had a tendency to splay my feet outward duck style, this was corrected over time with attention and awareness. It's all but gone now as muscle memory has taken its place. Some minor corrections infrequently are needed. Best of luck mate.

that is sad. we're all so misguided in our pursuits of roads that go nowhere... yet he is so desperately trying to tag along and follow us... reminds me of the preachers who are always railing against porn while showing image after image on the screen in high def.

I've been running this all night recently and into the mornings while my son and I sleep on our massive couch together. Summer camp, stay up late, watch movies, play video games, talk into the small hours and fall asleep to the sound of life falling from heaven, free and unregulated.

I've long had the experience that my brain tunes into my mind the way my radio tunes into stations.

Well of all the things I might not know about MP, having never heard of it prior to coming here; there is one thing I know for certain now... I don't want anything to do with it.

chop wood and carry the water

but slippers taste like (you) love!

I love Just Say No and Just Do It... I use Just Say No for TV, junk food and shitty people... Just Do It for all those little things I would otherwise find a reason to procrastinate on...

I was referring to picture number 12 being a close up of silica sand... makes me happy

12

did you ever grow anything.... in the garden of your minnnnnnd? Fred, layin down some awesome sauce!

*deep bow* booya!

You'll both be getting calls from Nike legal...

seems to me... absolutes are always absolutely ridiculous when followed to their extreme...

One of my all time favorite stories.

Especially that fine silica sand that's been soaking in sunlight and pounded by waves for countless who knows how longs..... it's bathing in crystals

every single one, not a blade of grass, nor a grain of sand is less than this...

illusion of separation

I've washed my hands in sand very effectively on many occasions...

Heh... I was typing this as you posted it...

compassion and love generate more merit for me than all my qi gong and breath/energy work combined... it's just... for me, the qi gong and breath/energy work aid me in being the compassion and love my teacher always repeats this phrase: kind heart quiet heart sincere heart bit of a lovely cycle when I can maintain the inertial groove of it best wishes...

Due to my perception within duality, I'm often more able to see what I am, based on what I am not, but only within/from my clinging/associating with a spot within the framework of duality perception. I'm reminded of Manitou's post and High Indifference. There exists in awareness a frame of perception that is still part of this process yet not of it. The Sage does not take the world personally. Be in the world, but not of it. This state/point allows for everything within duality, judges not a whit and cares not as to the process or passing and coming into being of 'things'; while emanating constant love. To vibrate here and emanate this...

much to chew on... thanks for posting.
