The best quote I ever heard.
" We gaze up at the same stars, the sky covers us all the same universe encompasses us. What does it matter what practical system we adopt in our search for the truth? Not by one avenue only can we arrive at so tremendous a secret."
I am a firm believer in destiny. I believe that before the beginning of an incarnation we discuss with god what we want or need in the approaching life along with the other souls that will incarnate with us like family members or friends we seem expecially close to on a spiritual level. Religions and cultures we know we can learn from are involved in these discussions too. I feel like I'm ona good run, I really feel at peace as to whats out there. But I still find it extremely difficult to discuss religion with most people- not like I think I know more or less than them, but that we can never make it to the same page at the same time and go from there. My dad, Eddie when we talk about stuff like that, and my Godfather Fred, Carina, Callie, are the people that seem to understand the most about what I'm saying. My boss's sister too...is that weird?
Back to destiny. Man has total control over what they do in life. But the reason we do alot of the things we do is because that certain part of us remembers what are goals were when we started out. By following those goals or even changing them, we have already given ourself the path to happiness and getting the most out of life, leading us ever closer to evolution into beings able to make universal changes and decisions and to move in rhythm with the celestial bodies....Now all we have to work on is the Midwest...OH!!!! DID I SAY THAT!!!??? I was totally kidding. I swear!!! Hehehehehe..
Haven't heard from Eddie, I bet he doesn't have internet. I just hope Pia didn't hurt any crocodiles. Poor things...Italian grandmothers are the downfall of the reptilian species. Damn beautiful Italian footwear...
I paddled 20 MILES on Saturday. I only had to paddle and hour today but damn...I hurt everywhere. I have my first Change race on Saturday in Dana Point. It goes from there to Laguna Beach and back. I am so nervous I could cry!
I'm still a little little high. I sat down in seat three in the canoe this morning and I thought I was in seat five. I was really confused for about thirty seconds...
Yeah...Time for bed.
But you know what? After Paddling 20 miles with out my coach changing me out once, I stood on the beach and I felt like I could do ANYTHING If I wanted to try. Its an amazing feeling to push yourself to limits you thought were impossible because of laziness, your weight, insecurities, or strenghth of will, and to get out of the boat and float on you back in the ocean and make peace with your body that you had just abused and pushed against its will, and peace with the ocean that isn't so cold anymore... Its a glorious feeling that I never knew exsisted. I am so happy. I don't care what my team places in the next four races. The race from Long Beach to Catalina is one of the four biggest in the World, alon with Molokai, and others. To be eligable to participate and live through a race like that will be enough of an accomplishment to be able to brag about until next season.
