2025 for me is a year of self-care as well as self-actualization.
Because of working these f'd up nightshift, graveyard shift, evening shift jobs these past four years it has completely turned my health habits and lifestyle 180 degrees.
After running full steam with full time work in a very taxing job all year round, my body finally shut down during the Christmas season was a true wake up call for me.
I need to spend more time taking care of myself; to live well, be well and build upon that foundation. If my major goal is to live a more abundant, self-reliant and as Chuang Tzu called it "a life of carefree wanderings" (which is an attitude to life...an attitude of play, relaxation, creativity, being receptive to Life and being adaptable to the change of my cause and effect trajectory) then this is what must be done.
So I pack my troubles in my pipe bowl and burn them away, ugly things becoming beauttiful things within my pipe bowl. I smoke the wonderful virginias and latakia, taking my mind to greater heights as i contemplate the comings and goings of my previous day, as well as mapping out my modus operandi for the day to come, for i plan to seize it truly with the best of my technique (we're all artists of life here, and you don't need to have come from a background of the Arts or Entertainment to have such an attitude) and all my soul as an Artist.
I'd like to share with you a quote by Osho, from one of my favourite Osho books "A Cup of Tea":
Letter 131
Love.
What does the seed know of its own potential? It is the same with man, he doesn’t know what he is nor what he can be! The seed, perhaps, cannot look within but man can. This looking in is called meditation. To know one’s truth as it is here and now is meditation. Dive into it, deeper and deeper; there, in the depths, all that is possible can be clearly seen, and once seen it begins to happen-the awareness of what is possible turns into a reality, like a seed stirred by a vision of its potential beginning to sprout. Time, effort, energy- pour it all into meditation because meditation is the gateless gate through which the self becomes aware of itself.
Alright keep chillin', gotta go to work. I hear them ceremic plates calling!!!
