As High as a Kite <>S

What to say about today.. as I take a deep breath and prepare myself to reflect, there is a calm stream that flows through my mind. I made a conscious decision today not to let a fncking catastrophe take away my good hard-earned energy! Follamenow!

Check it, I enjoyed a nice cup of water (with ice, chilled...ah yeeah) in a rather large blue container. Cluttered at the desk, I knocked over the frozen flood upon my lovely MacBook Pro. Dismayed as I was I looked not back in time where the dumbass who knocked over my cup sat playing video games, no! No, I rather chose to use my mind, the power of my brain, heart, breath, sight, sound and overall sensation that I call being.

Something changed. I thought, intuitively, critically, and found a solution realized by my only computer, which is my laptop, to be lost with a new replacement that goes for $2000 should an answer not appear before this problem.

First thought, think of options.

A. Can I fix the problem.
Popped off the keys, patted the tray down. Hopefully when the computer turns back on everything will be ok. No. Keyboard is glitchy.

B. Buy a new laptop.
I could juggle some cash but that would be betting on money I don't have. Plus, I'd rather not discard the computer completely because apparently all works fine outside of the now defunct
keyboard.

C. Purchase an external keyboard.
Bought a Microsoft Deluxe Ergonomic USB Keyboard for $49.99 (still less than an Apple USB Keyboard...whyIoughtta!!).

D. Check available financing options in purchasing a new Apple MacBook Pro.
The original in discussion is a 2007 15" MacBook Pro. Weighing pros and cons brought me to this...

It is better to find a way to work with what already exists. Should I hurry to buy the future then I am sure to waste. A cheaper investment would be the Microsoft Keyboard over a new laptop. If I have a choice, then I should consider 'all' available options so as to maximize the usage and availability of resources (namely all of the components that go into producing, packaging, and delivering a new laptop; aluminum, silicon, glass, carbon, etc.).

In some small way I feel like I actually did my part today. No one forced me. It was a natural feeling that I can honestly say I hadn't considered before. My computer still functions as I type on my now comfortable ergonomic keyboard :) ...and smile.

Good night ~~,

With Each Breath...

Today's two-hour yoga/meditation released many tension stations throughout my body. The combination between physical connection and mental state has placed me in a complete awakening with my being. The subtle chime music layered in the background with the addition of candlelight, has brought me into peace. This interconnected feeling brings me to a point where the universe makes perfect sense to me. Without thought. Without ideas. Mindfulness as it is meant to be experienced.

The Wilderness has awoken an old soul within me that is reminded of the many curious opportunities the world holds in its discovery. Every leaf that falls before my eyes. Each gust of wind as it pushes my back. All moments come to rest in a single experience. My breath. The growl of my internal workings. All comes to be what is all.


...Life.
