Today is a new day. And it is short. Slow down. Ma

Today is a new day. And it is short. Slow down. Make it longer. This was the end of daylight yesterday. I’m grateful to wake up today. Lately it is apparent that that is not a given. Someone I know close to my age did not wake up today. And last week another friend my age did not wake up. They both died due to stroke/aneurism. I am high risk for both and heart failure due in part to genetics. Only so much is in our control. I’ll do my best to take care of my mind, body and spirit today. That’s all we can do. Do our best and understand that most of us are doing our best with what we have. What we were taught. What we have learned to practice. We are all ignorant about so much. We only have so much control in this life. Today is the only day. If you are reading this, we made it. Let’s try to let go and find some peace and share a little of it. Any one of us is next. Try to show some compassion to yourself and others. Try to forgive yourself and others. We will fail at the acts but don’t have to fail at trying. All the best to all of us.

“1- I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old.
2- I am of the nature to have ill health. There is no way to escape having ill health.
3 - I am of the nature to die. There is no way to escape death.
4 - All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change. There is no way to escape being separated from them.
5 - My actions are my only true belongings. I cannot escape the consequences of my actions. My actions are the ground upon which I stand.

These five remembrances, first found in the Upajjhatthana Sutta (“Subjects for Contemplation”), are intended to be recited. They’re intended to be memorized. They’re things we can say every day. Maybe they’re the first thing you say when you wake up, or the first thought you have before you go to bed; maybe they’re taped next to your bathroom mirror or on your kitchen counter. And as they become internalized, they become a kind of touchstone, a constant reminder to yourself that you are of the nature to grow old, that there’s no way around aging, that there is no way around sickness. There is no way around death.”

“When you climb a beautiful mountain, invite your child within to climb it with you. When you contemplate the sunset, invite them to enjoy it with you.”

You gotta walk that lonesome valley,
You gotta walk it by yourself,
Nobody here can walk it for you,
You gotta walk it by yourself
Mamma and daddy loves you dearly,
Sister does and brother, too,
They may beg you to go with them,
But they cannot go for you.
