The Heart Collector

Number 7.

Bob — Fri, 02 Jul 2010 16:42:37 +0000

I will purify my mind, body and speech with the jewels of humility, wisdom and compassion; I will rise untouched as the lotus from the earth, as impenetrable as the seed of Buddhanature.

Number 6

Bob — Wed, 30 Jun 2010 17:17:45 +0000

I will live life with a sense of abundance, rather than scarcity.
My life is full; of opportunities, of amazing people, of unbelievable beauty and good fortune.
I will be mindful of this, always.

Number 5

Bob — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:10:40 +0000

I will be mindful of my breathing, seeking to quiet the running stream of thoughts in my mind; like a river, the water will flow over my feet but I will remain unmoved. In this way my mind will be a still pond, where even the tiny movement of a dragonfly on the water’s surface is seen clearly.

Number 4

Bob — Mon, 28 Jun 2010 16:36:51 +0000

I will make a dedicated effort to spend more time listening to those around me, and less time doing the talking. In this way, I hope to become a better friend, a wiser man and a more understanding person.

Number 3

Bob — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 23:23:42 +0000

With each each moment I will practice loving-kindness; I will radiate positive energy and maintain a peaceful, understanding attitude toward those that I encounter. If I should find there is someone who challenges this in me, I will only allow that influence to drive me to try harder.

Number 2

Bob — Sat, 26 Jun 2010 14:33:26 +0000

With each day, I will make a positive, beneficial action into a habit, and make the aversion of a negative, detrimental action a habit as well. In this way, I will habitually make myself and my life better each day, and without thinking to avoid those actions which hinder my progress.

Number 1

Bob — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 16:24:05 +0000

If a problem arises, I will be thankful for the opportunity to encounter it, learn and grow.
If I feel pain, I will be thankful I am alive to feel it.
If I feel joy, I will be thankful for the good fortune that brought it to me.
This positive energy will color my day and influence everything and everyone around me.

What is time?

Bob — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 01:16:21 +0000

It is remarkable that the most real feeling in perception of time “the present”, cannot be measured in any units of time. Present is duration-less, it is an infinitesimal. On the timeline both the past and the future which are seen as durations in time encroach on the present.

I’m diggin’ on this song lately.
