In my previous post I talked about my spiritual path and it occurred to me that I could have just as easily (and as importantly) added writing and diet. Writing is very much part of spiritual life and my practice. It's done daily and often with great inspiration that can only be a direct link to something greater than myself (of which I am still part of) I have written everyday since 2001 - inspired quite a bit by Steven Pressfield's book - The War of Art. I don't think of it as a streak - it's a way of life.
My diet is my spiritual practice demonstrated. Compassion on the plate. Kindness needs to extend in all directions and shouldn't be discontinued for a momentary dinning experience. There is greater pleasure in knowing that our appetite meets our values.
When my practice(s) are aligned my life runs in smooth order - if something is not aligned it is a simple measure of taking stock of my practice and seeing what is (if ever so slightly) misaligned. True spirituality may be less about being in balance as it is about balancing. I try.
Peace,
Eric
