April 20, 2017, self-understanding 22 miles meditative jog,“We search for happiness everywhere, but we are like Tolstoy's fabled beggar who spent his life sitting on a pot of gold, under him the whole time. Your treasure--your perfection--is within you already. But to claim it, you must leave the buy commotion of the mind and abandon the desires of the ego and enter into the silence of the heart.” Elizabeth Gilbert

The air that bore them life. And so how can I ever say that I am alone?”

It rises up in wordless gentleness, and flows out to me from the unseen roots of all created being".

April 11, 2017 faith on what will be 20 miles meditative jog,"A key component of mindfulness, and one which can sometime cause difficulty – is the concept of acceptance: “surrender to what is” and “have faith in what will be.” But we like this for its sense of release from the past and the subsequent freedom of letting go. There is also a feeling of ‘Que Sera, sera’ – whatever will be, will be. We cannot always change the events that happen to us in life, but we can choose how we respond to them."

April 10 2017 self transformation 20 miles meditative jog,“Would you like to save the world from the degradation and destruction it seems destined for? Then step away from shallow mass movements and quietly go to work on your own self-awareness. If you want to awaken all of humanity, then awaken all of yourself. If you want to eliminate the suffering in the world, then eliminate all that is dark and negative in yourself. Truly, the greatest gift you have to give is that of your own self-transformation.”

April 9 2017 humbleness 20 miles meditative jog,“Are you able to remain humble and kind when things do not go the way you want or expect?

It is important to not only say and do the ‘right’ thing, it is important to also think and believe it - which is being genuine in nature of peace embodiment.”

April 6, 2017 mindfulness 20 miles meditative jog,“Om is not just a sound or vibration. It is not just a symbol. It is the entire cosmos, whatever we can see, touch, hear and feel. Moreover, it is all that is within our perception and all that is beyond our perception. It is the core of our very existence. If you think of Om only as a sound, a technique or a symbol of the Divine, you will miss it altogether. Om is the mysterious cosmic energy that is the substratum of all the things and all the beings of the entire universe. It is an eternal song of the Divine. It is continuously resounding in silence on the background of everything that exists.”

April 5, 2017 determination 20 miles meditation jog,“So long as the man with ambition is a failure, the world will tell him to let go of his ideal; but when his ambition is realized, the world will praise him for the persistence and the determination that he manifested during his dark hours, and everybody will point to his life as an example for coming generations. This is invariably the rule. Therefore pay no attention to what the world says when you are down. Be determined to get up, to reach the highest goal you have in view, and you will.”

A quiet truth, that is not a version of something, but an original knowing. What this, absolute, truth [identity] is may be none of our business…but it is there, guiding us along the path of greater becoming; a true awareness. It is so self-sustaining that our recognition of it is not required. We are offspring’s of such a powerfully divine force – Creator of all things known and unknown.”
