Still “hows”

Destinations, dreams and end results, John-Derek - the home, the romance, the booty - while helpful, handy, and often quite dandy, are all still “hows” when it comes to happiness.

Helps to keep that in mind.

Happily, The Universe

I meant like a pirate’s booty, John-Derek.

Learn by doing

Timely: The past few weeks I have been emerging myself in the science of things. Why things are as they are. Why I am as I am…vague enough for ya? I’ve learned some profound things and it’s time to start practicing them more conciously. I’m ready. Time to leap!

“What we learn to do, we learn by doing.” -Aristotle (384-322 B.C.)

Our topic this week is learning. There’s a difference between theory and practice. We may know how to meditate – all the technical points and benefits of meditation that we hear so much about. But until we actually meditate ourselves, we haven’t really learned anything about it! On one episode of the TV comedy “Frasier,” Frasier and his brother were trying to learn how to ride a bike by reading a book. Now we know how silly that is! And yet, that’s the same kind of thing we often do in our spiritual practices. We read about prayer, and chanting, and mantras – but to really “get it” we’ve got to do it! -Lissa Coffey
