Values
What I have valued in my life up until now
I feel
are achievements
As a pre-schooler, I valued the day when I would enter school.
When I set to learn something, I valued the time when I learned and understood it.
When I was in second grade, I valued the expectation of entering into third grade.
When I climbed a mountain, I valued the achievement of reaching the top of the montain.
I valued the achievement of being able to lift a certain weight
up the mountain
for exercise
I valued being able to run 10 kilometers.
40 kilometers.
complete an ironman.
I valued learning a language.
Knowing it, speaking it.
Possessing that ability
I valued achieving a stable income.
I valued achieving stability.
I valued traveling to a large number of countries.
I valued traveling around the world.
I valued making new friends.
I valued the ability to make music.
The ability to paint
The ability to sing
The ability to... purchase.
I valued the achievement of getting a girlfriend.
I valued the achievement of sex.
I valued the achievement of having a girl make the first move.
I valued having learned how to cook something.
Abilities.
States.
Goals.
Achivements.
Yes, these are valued.
What I notice is that they.
are.
states.
and states do not remain.
ever.
nothing remains.
34 years ago I was born, and 34 years from now I may be dead.
And I realize that
a chain of desiring, acting, and achieving
is one I..
feel less drawn to.
less drawn to.
then...
mind wants to ask...
then WHAT will you do?
hah
values
The POINT is
there is no point
in essence
so...
let's make up points? As we go?
I feel drawn to another value today.
Courage.
The intention of facing fear. Of knowing it.
Of knowing what brings fear.
Seeing it.
For it is me.
part of me.
and though they may well be
skipped, jumped over,
or faced while on the way to a goal or another,
I feel it is *the* facing of these fears,
whether there is a goal or not,
that practices courage
that we can practice
and how we can live.
:)
with joy
with a cleaner self
inside
with courage
I can clean my inside
and sail with grace
in bliss
