If I knew then

What I know now

Then I would not be here

And I would not know

What I know now

There will be days when it feels like only you care. These are not the days to quit caring. These are the days to care more.

I struggled with meditation for what seemed like 15 or 20 years. Jason Jarrett introduced me to Buddhist chanting and meditation came together for me becoming an important part of my life. Today I learned of Isha Kriya. I do not see this replacing my chanting but I’m intrigued enough to try it for at least 48 days.

The beauty of youth is that the young do not yet know what they cannot do therefore they can do anything.

Everyone can do better than you until they have to do what you are doing.

There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self.

My children may never know
How many tears I shed for them
Tears of joy for their successes
Tears of sadness when they are down
Tears of regret for my mistakes
Tears of anguish at my shortcomings
Tears of frustration for lack of time
Tears of angst for their future
Tears of confusion when they do not listen
Tears of acknowledgment that they walk their own path
Tears of befuddlement for making the simple hard
Tears of acceptance for innocence lost
Tears of pride for the compliments they receive
Tears of satisfaction when they smile at their achievements
Tears of ecstasy seeing them grow into independent adults
