Here's a view from my hammock! Wish you were here, hehe. 


"..,For many people alive at this time, loss is experienced as loss of meaning. In other words, life seems to lack purpose and doesn’t make sense anymore. Loss of meaning is often part of the suffering that comes with physical loss, but it can also happen to people who have gained everything the world has to offer – who have "made it" in the eyes of the world – and suddenly find that their success or possessions are empty and unfulfilling. What the world and the surrounding culture tells them is important and of value turns out to be empty and this leaves a kind of painful inner void, often accompanied by great mental confusion."

-Eckhart Tolle interviewed by Sounds True in Boulder, Colorado, USA

Here is a link to the rest of Tolle's interview.

I am realizing that I've been working around a rule I made for myself a long time ago. The rule is to avoid the "news."

Too much awareness of the injustice, cruelty, greed and lies in the world causes the painful inner void, Tolle cautions against. Too little awareness of the miracle of this moment causes mental confusion. It's time to hit the hammock, look at the sky and the clouds, count blessings, and radiate a good vibe.

Ahhhh! It's a good day today.
