Resolutions, Intentions and Stuff

Happy New Year Everyone!
A few words on resolutions -
I like this word.
It has strong meaning - to resove to bring an idea to fruition, to its rightful conclusion. It's a powerful word. Toltec Seer and author Carlos Castenada would often talk about the active force of Intent in the Universe and how we could join this force for the undertaking of a great task. This is resolve - the joining of our personal intent with that of the Universe. In knowing that Intent is an active force we can actually relax our "will power" a bit and allow the Universe to conspire to our good fortunes. And that's the key, relax, detach from the outcome in full knowlede that this Universal conspiracy is taking place. Our part is to dream, to invision, and act in the postitive manner that our dreams dictate. Do you wish to run a marathon this year? (or qualify for Boston?)Then plant the seed of Intent and water this seed with the desire of each step within a well formed training plan (and diet and rest)and allow the dream to unfold. The Universe loves Motion (and the stillness from which it springs from)and on the wings of intent you will fly. I promise.

For myself -
I want to run this year.
A little farther.
A little faster.

I want to continue lifting -
a little heavier.

I want to write -
More often.
With more passion.

I want to be still -
Quiter.
Deeper.

I want to love -
Myself.
Others.

And I want to share -
Little things,
about diet, running, fitness, meditation, poetry.

These are my Intentions.
Please know that my Intent is joined with yours for
all things postive.

Peace,
Eric
