My New Year Under the Bodhi Tree

The upcoming new year will be my year under the Bodhi tree. As the Buddha sat in calm abiding while besieged by illusions sent by Mara - I will sit in faith while anger, impatience and unloving thoughts pass without response. I will be quick to forgive - myself and others. As Buddha touched the earth and bore witness to his enlightenment - I too will touch the earth in recognition that my highest possible self is always present and always whispers guidance in my ear. I pray that I may always listen. I will race for the sake of running. I will write in hope that beauty may follow. I will live for the simple act of being. This year will be my Bodhi tree.

Peace,
Eric
