hello readers! this being my first blog, it feels like it should be special. i’m feeling the excitement of sharing myself with you. i’m also feeling the obligation of updating it regularly. how much do i share? how much is too much? what amount will leave you wanting more, but not dreading another long post? quite the conundrum. do all blogs start this way? on to the useful information…
i spoke with my friend, clint, last night and told him the story of my recent happenings…being laid off from my job and having my girlfriend break up with me. he told me it sounded like the beginning of the movie ’stripes.’ we both had a good laugh. let it be known that i can definitely do five pushups. hell, i walked 60 miles a month ago.
i went to aryaloka buddhist center last night for ’sangha night’ (aka, community night). i really enjoyed the forty-minute meditation and the book discussion. the topic is ‘buddhism 101′ or introduction to buddhism. i’m finding some great peace of mind in studying buddhism these days. the concepts of loving-kindness, compassion, truth and mindfulness are really striking a chord with me.
it looks like that’s enough for a first post. agreed? much more to follow. as i am unemployed at current time, posts may come fast and furiously in the short term.
be well,
greg
