Spring has sprung

Ah, it has been while since I've written anything. But, then spring has sprung. I've had an inch to get out and go camping, but it is still a little early up here.

Camping is a great way to get focused. It does not have to be in a tent or an RV or any particular type of vehicle.

One can go for a walk in the woods or a week on a deserted beach. Paddle a canoe in lake country-anything to get away.

What do I mean by "get away"? Well, it means breaking out of your current position. If you work in an office, sometimes you need to get out and see the world from a completely different viewpoint.

Remember, enlightenment doe snot mean solemn and somber. Rather, it means being free from the things that oppress us.

Now, when one is enlightened, one is not normally oppressed by the world around him or her. THat does not mean that you should sit in a state of bliss all day either.

Go out and experience the world. Enjoy what life has to offer 24/7. But always remember you are not limited as to how to enjoy the world.


Many enlightened people live in quieter areas of the country, however. Quiet and peacefulness are better than frantic and "busy" for anybody, but the enlightened are naturally attracted to them.

So, find a place to get away for a few days and then go out and enjoy.
