Dreams

 

I had that dream again. It's strange, it's almost as if the mountains are calling me. The messages and and conversations I have had with people in the last few weeks regarding mountains is actually pretty incredible. It is a recurring theme in my life right now and I'm not quite sure what it all means. There are far too many to be a coincidence. I know when something is on your mind you tend to make connections to it frequently, but it has happened all to frequently to be a case of “seeing what you want to see”. I had a new friend in Karate the other day show me pictures of the west coast and honestly my heart felt a pang. Some day my friends some day.

Speaking of Karate, I've been throwing (haha) myself at little harder at it. Since my last attack I am trying to make a more concerted effort to train with more intensity.  I have been blessed with many black belt friends in my life and do enjoy discussing karate and working out. I also enjoy watching others train. Really watching black belts throw each other around is actually kinda fun. One of the last classes I attended recently, I was tossed by a black belt and whacked my head off something hard. It turned out to be the Sensei, who smiled as he looked down on me. There is nothing graceful about hurriedly trying to pick yourself up and apologizing for racking your head off his shin, all while trying to stifle your laughter. I mean really of all the things to get thrown into in the dojo it had to be the Sensei right?

I've also tried to make some different changes in my life. I am eliminating the negativity in my life and those who bring it about. I want people who edify me as I in turn edify them. I have had a tendency to accept people in my life who in order to build themselves up tear me down. A very wise friend once told me that “Love is an action word”. I love my friends and they in turn love me they show this to me on a daily basis in thousands of ways. Stepping back and examining my life I realized how truly blessed I am. By eliminating the negative it makes room for more positive people and influences in my life.  Maybe I'm moving mountains?  Sigh.  I just want to see them.
