people think i’m too busy. people think i’m too hyper. people think i’m too fast. and people think i’m crazy. i think so too.
so how do you slow somebody down like me? meditation. so for the past 6 months or so, i got into mediation. it’s so hard to do, especially for a guy like me. i try doing it at home but no way. just too many distractions. i meditate while i’m free diving but once i get out of the water, my mind goes 100mph again. so now i take a mediation class up at the buddhist temple. we sit in the temple meditating. it’s a 2 hour class starting with meditation followed by a discussion about becoming more calm.
so beautiful up in the mountains, which is a good place to let your mind go free. now you ask, is it working? i think so. i’m diving deeper, little things don’t bother me as much, and i’m on path to slowing down my life.
gosh, i was looking back at my panama yellow fin trip photos from last year. it’s what you would call “extreme diving.” a normal person would think we were crazy! even i think we were crazy at times.
got a nice photo of the Hokulea’s sister voyaging canoe. so beautiful and full with hawaiian culture.
wanted to say hello to Yumi-chan enjoying her lifestyle here in hawaii! japanese tradition in hawaii. i love it!
i’m still blown away from the explosion in china. what really happened???
it looks like a war zone!
finally, on my last meditation class, i couldn’t clear my mind. i would try and try, but the frustrations of my new speargun was clogging up my mind. i even came home after and did some modifications. tried it again and it’s just not for me. i have over $350 into the gun and i just decided to get rid of it. so it’s for sale. why let something like this taunt my mind so much? bye bye speargun!
