Every Day Just Write


     Satsvarupa das Goswami has this ongoing series of books called “Every Day Just Write”. There he shares his thoughts, realizations, sometimes events. I like the formula and the idea behind it – staying connected with the self, not losing track, and making conscious endeavor to find Krishna in everyday life.
     So I was thinking to try it here. It’s not something new to me, I’ve been writing a diary since early ninetieths and I’ve had few blogs going on for a while. But still I feel the need to start something new.
     Now, when I’ve written this short introduction I’m not sure what to say …
     The day have been good so far, though I’m starting to get a slight headache. Since the last year was very difficult and messy, I’m cherishing these kind of relaxed, easy days, trying to make them last. 
     The sun is still bright and warm, though I can sense the autumn feel in the air – crispiness, smell of earth and fallen leaves, the sunlight shines somewhat differently – pale, coldish.
     I chopped some wood in the morning. The woodshed is almost empty. Lately I didn’t have much time or energy, and soon I will have even less time – tomorrow I’m starting a therapy.
     I’m excited about it, even though the anxiety isn’t that bad lately. Still I’m happy to have a chance to meet new people, find out more about myself and eventually to grow more. 
     It will be quite intense – group therapy, five days a week, few hours a day, for over two months, and it is 50 kilometers from my place, so I will spend considerable amount of time in trains and busses. I’ve started to learn verses from sastras, so it’s good to have this time, and also maybe I will listen more to Guru Maharaja’s talks and read more. 
     Then, if everything goes smooth, in December Saragrahi and I may end up in Costa Rica, in Madhuvan, we will see.
     Ok, I’ll make a small drawing and let’s finish it for today. 
     I’ll be back.
