Mindset: open. Trying to incorporate more mindfulness and introspection into my daily interactions. As if there's room to do so :-) you would think I've done enough. But it's a constant ongoing effort to try and keep my default mode network from activating.
Goals: yesterday was very productive. I got a lot done. I managed to get Lauren's tires filled and tank filled as well. All the wine has been put away and do its appropriate places and inventory. Air filters were changed. Tommy and Lauren's rooms continue to get worked on along with the garage in parallel. It's a bit of a Rubiks cube game, trying to move things around in order to get them into their eventual permanent position. But I feel positive that by the end of the week it will all be in place. I joined the Online Zazen with deep bow, which was great. It feels like there group is slowly expanding and it's nice to see some familiar faces. Today's focus will be predominantly on Tommy's room and where clothes will go and what additional hardware is needed to expand storage in the closet which I will get later this week.
Anticipation: coffee with Johnathon and the entire day, working on the aforementioned tasks while listening to podcasts.
Wants: I have so many things. I'm grateful for that. Listing wants every day seems so selfish and silly. At the same time it's really about setting ideals and aspirations. I want to focus more on exploring, and finding a position of confidence in the dichotomy of life, as we know it, and all of the aspects of life that have potential value and insight beyond this "baseline" concept of existence. But I want this to be based aggressively in science. at least to the point that you can't discount and disprove an experience, as being nothing more than an illusion, or a hallucination.
