When I first started this blog my goal was to tell you more about our life, my life and the ones you love.
It is amazing to me how time fly's. You are almost four now. There is not a day that goes by that I don't look at you and say wow, what an amazing person. You grow and mature so fast it baffles me. I love when you sit and talk to me. One of my favorite things in the world is when you tell me about your day and the things you made at Ms. Stephanie's. The passion and excitement in your voice makes me gleam with love. I love you kid.
A little about me on this day.
You will soon find out, I believe in one thing, the present. I refer to myself as a Buddhist primarily because that is what people know. I am a believer in being a good human being, I am a believer in when I die, I will still have some sort of presence later, I am a believer that there is inherent good in everyone. Lastly, I am a believer that the mind we have is more powerful than anything in the world.
I have you "sit" for a reason and that is to recognize the present and control your mind. I try to sit (meditate) daily, I try. I try to focus on the now and I try to recognize everything will be gone one day.
I went to a funeral the other day. Typically I do not do very well. I had an immense amount of passion for the friend who was enduring the loss of his father. I sat next to your Grandad and couldn't help but to try and put myself the position of my friend. My emotions overwhelmed me but somehow I kept myself under control.
As morbid as it sounds, we will die and somehow someway we will still live on. If we concern ourselves with what will happen, we wont be able to focus on the now. I have a tattoo of you on my wrist and every time I look at your name it brings me back to now.
As you grow and begin to make your own decisions about what you want to believe, I encourage you to believe it two things; The now and compassion. I want you to explore what is out there but if you have compassion your mind will be more open than ever and if you stay present the world around you will be incredibly beautiful.
