What I know now
Then I would not be here
And I would not know
What I know now

Deep thoughts
It was never about money. It was about time.
Meditation
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.

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

Tears of a Parent aka Oh How I Cry
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
There’s a Doug none of you know.
I think I miss being angry.
