Focus! Focus.....

Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand. The sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus
~Alexander Graham Bell

Concentration is the ability to think about absolutely nothing when it is absolutely necessary
~Ray Knight

Concentration is the secret of strength
~Ralph Waldo Emerson




Aim at the sun and you may not reach it; but your arrow will fly far higher than if you had aimed at an object on a level with yourself
~F. Hawes

~All that we are is the result of what we have thought
Buddha

Beware lest you lose the substance by grasping at the shadow
~Aesop


Stay with sensitivity, even as you do things more challenging...

Gratitude

Wish I was here.....



Or riding my Cannondale road bike on this warm, smooth road,
with nearby hills to climb.....

Even though Calgary, should be called WinterCity, having only two seasons - Winter & construction or stampede season. I know how fortunate we are to live here. 


I am grateful:
  • to breathe fresh air, even if it's cool & crisp most of the time
  • to be close to the mountains for biking & to ski (when there's too much snow for biking)
  • for my friends
  • the amazing electronic bass music scene that has evolved over the years
  • for the strong communities & kulas I'm part of
  • for my career
  • to have the honor to share my love of yoga with others
  • to have ideas, followed by resourses & determination to make things happen  
With everything that's happening in the world I am reminded of how fortunate we are and how trivial daily complaints can be...in comparison to the global picture.  I try to help as much as I can, still there's feelings that its not enough....then I'm reminded and filled with gratitude...

On of my many favorite photos from Sedona, AZ
I think I'll choose this photo to have printed on 16x24 Canvas

As I work in cold Calgay, all I can do is dream of warmer days
