I agree, nature, including weather can be a great way to connect with the universe. I often do when driving on the highway and looking at the beautiful Florida sky. You added a great dimension to the blog, thanks again. Thank you for your comment Ursula.

Tue, 18 Aug 2009 22:07:54 +0000 http://www.wmberry.com/?p=394#comment-2643 This post brought me back to when I was religious studies undergrad (and single--i find traditional romantic relationships are antagonistic to a zen lifestyle): always living in the moment. Since then I graduated and had to 'snap out of it' and put that mentality on hold to chisel out a new era of my life. ...Oh but there is always time for a little mindfulness?? -Yes especially when a storm is just about to roll in. I recommended taking a stroll on hollybeach in the late pm's/ early am's for that paradoxical 'connecting without connecting' experience. I was there last week and to my luck a storm was rolling in so the whole boardwalk was terribly gusty; picture: there [you] are walking against the flow of a sea of people with nothing separating [yourself] from the others but cool gusts of wind. However, nature's fury piques my interest more than people--so i head to a lifeguard tower to experience the storm. It sounds juvenile on paper, but it is a nice break from routine.

In the end, there are only two things to worry about: either you are well or you are sick. When you're well, there is nothing to worry about. But if you're sick, then there are two things to worry about: either you get well or you will die. When you get well, there is nothing to worry about. But when you die, then there are two things to worry about: either you'll go to heaven or you'll go to hell. When you go to heaven, there is nothing to worry about. But when you go to hell, you'll be so damn busy shaking hands with friends, you won't have time to worry! SO WHY WORRY!? Here is the Irish toast, in case you were wondering.
